Ionizing radiation exposure is an inherent component of endovascular surgery. As procedures become more complex, greater radiation exposure is incurred by both staff and patient. Radiation doses during endovascular aneurysm repair are similar to those recorded during percutaneous coronary interventions. Ionizing radiation may cause skin injury, as well as increase the long-term risk of malignancy. Endovascular surgeons need to be aware of radiation hazards and take all reasonable steps to minimize the risks to both patients and staff.
电离辐射暴露是血管内手术的一个固有组成部分。随着手术变得更加复杂,医护人员和患者所遭受的辐射暴露也会增加。血管内动脉瘤修复术中的辐射剂量与经皮冠状动脉介入治疗时记录的剂量相似。电离辐射可能会导致皮肤损伤,同时也会增加患恶性肿瘤的长期风险。血管内外科医生需要意识到辐射危害,并采取一切合理措施将对患者和医护人员的风险降至最低。
