Since 1992, a registry has collected data on trends in interventional cardiology within Europe. This 14th report presents aggregated data on cardiac catheter procedures in 30 European countries in the year 2005.
Questionnaires were distributed yearly to all national societies of cardiology represented in the European Society of Cardiology. The goal was to collect the case numbers of all local institutions and operators. The overall numbers of coronary angiographies continue to increase throughout the European community. For percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) procedures, the same holds true with a marked difference between the nations. In five years the use of drug eluting stents has raised from 57 cases to more than 221,000, representing one third of all stenting procedures. Mortality has remained unchanged but other complications have significantly decreased over years. From the noncoronary procedures, closure of the patent foramen ovale has shown almost doubled in the past five years.
Interventional cardiology in Europe is ever expanding, in part by the continuous growth in the eastern European countries. Mortality remains low and other procedure-related complications decrease. Among the noncoronary procedures, percutaneous shunt closures, in particular, PFO closure, increased most during the last decade.
自1992年以来，一个登记处一直在收集欧洲介入心脏病学的趋势数据。这份第14份报告展示了2005年30个欧洲国家心脏导管手术的汇总数据。
每年向欧洲心脏病学会中所有代表国家的心脏病学会分发调查问卷。目的是收集所有当地机构和操作人员的病例数。整个欧洲共同体冠状动脉造影的总数持续增加。对于经皮冠状动脉介入治疗（PCI）手术，情况也是如此，但各国之间存在显著差异。在五年内，药物洗脱支架的使用从57例增加到超过221,000例，占所有支架手术的三分之一。死亡率保持不变，但多年来其他并发症显著减少。在非冠状动脉手术中，卵圆孔未闭封堵术在过去五年中几乎增加了一倍。
欧洲的介入心脏病学不断发展，部分原因是东欧国家的持续增长。死亡率仍然很低，其他与手术相关的并发症减少。在非冠状动脉手术中，特别是经皮分流封堵术，尤其是卵圆孔未闭封堵术，在过去十年中增加最多。
