Abstract
The purpose the current work were to assess the radiation exposure given to patients during percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), pacemaker (PM) and coronary angiography (CA), procedures. In total, 419 procedures were carried out in 4 specialized hospitals. Calibrated Kerma area product meters were used to quantify the patient doses. Effective dose was extrapolated using the national radiological protection board (NRPB) software program. The mean KAP (Gy.cm2) per procedure were 8.6, 6.2 and 5.6 for PCI, PM, and CA procedures, respectively. While in that order, e mean and Entrance Surface Air Kerma (ESAK, mGy) per procedure were 705.9,509, and 464.7 for PCI, PM, and CA. Patients’ doses is below the level of the deterministic effects and the effective dose per procedure is low. Patients radiation doses is lowest compared to the previous studies.
