Abstract 244: Revision of the Consent Form for Coronary Angiography Procedures Session Title: Poster Session II
Conclusion: In a representative assessment of coronary angiography and PCI outcomes, some major complications are higher that those reported in international literature. Significant access site bleeding was low, likely explained by the high prevalence of radial procedures. Future iterations of the patient information sheet and consent form may be improved by providing personalized risks.

Effects of withdrawing vs continuing renin-angiotensin blockers on incidence of acute kidney injury in patients with renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization: Results from the Angiotensin Converting Enzyme Inhibitor/Angiotensin Receptor Blocker and Contrast Induced Nephropathy in Patients Receiving Cardiac Catheterization (CAPTAIN) trial
Conclusion In this pilot study of patients with moderate renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization, with-holding ACEI/ARB resulted in a non-significant reduction in contrast-induced AKI and a significant reduction in post-procedural rise of creatinine. This low cost intervention could be considered when referring a patient for cardiac catheterization.

Effects of Withdrawing Versus Continuing Renin-Angiotensin Blockers on Incidence of Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Renal Insufficiency Undergoing Cardiac Catheterization: Results from the CAPTAIN Trial
Conclusion In patients with moderate renal insufficiency undergoing cardiac catheterization, withholding ACEI/ARB reduced (without statistical significance) the incidence of contrast-induced AKI. Additionally, a lower rise in post procedural creatinine levels was also noted. This low cost intervention could be considered when referring a patient for cardiac catheterization.
