Description
Summary:Abstract Background Prolonged fluoroscopy time during coronary angiography is a major concern for interventional cardiologists as well as for patients. It is unknown which factors affect the prolonged fluoroscopy time. Methods A total of 458 patients who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography were included. The patients who had the highest decile of fluoroscopy time were assigned to the prolonged fluoroscopy group (fluoroscopy time ≥15.7 min), while the other patients were assigned to the non-prolonged fluoroscopy group (fluoroscopy time
