Complications were surveyed prospectively in 2,029 catheterizations performed on 1,483 patients from the 13 centers participating in the VA Cooperative Study on Valvular Heart Disease. Complications were reported in 6.9% of 1,559 preoperative procedures of which 2.6% were major and 0.2% fatal. Clinical predictors of complications were hypertension and the precatheterization diagnosis of aortic stenosis. Nevertheless, patients with aortic stenosis successfully tolerated left ventriculography, which was routinely performed regardless of the magnitude of gradient. Procedural predictors of complication were brachial arteriotomy (vascular occlusion) and transseptal catheterization (tamponade). Among the 470 postoperative catheterizations performed solely for research purposes, there were six complications, of which five were bleeding events in patients taking warfarin. Transseptal catheterization was safer in postoperative patients with no cases of tamponade in 125 procedures.
