Association of body mass index with outcome after percutaneous coronary intervention

After percutaneous coronary intervention, obese patients have a similar to lower risk of death compared with normal-weight patients, whereas underweight patients have higher long-term mortality rates. Underweight and normal-weight patients have higher rates of femoral bleeding, hematoma, and blood l...

Description
Summary:After percutaneous coronary intervention, obese patients have a similar to lower risk of death compared with normal-weight patients, whereas underweight patients have higher long-term mortality rates. Underweight and normal-weight patients have higher rates of femoral bleeding, hematoma, and blood loss that require a transfusion compared with obese patients.
