This article presents the findings of the Spanish Society of Cardiology registry of cardiac catheterization and interventional cardiology in the year 2004. Data were obtained from 121 centers, which comprise almost all cardiac catheterization laboratories in Spain. Of these, 110 performed catheterization mainly in adults, and 11 carried out procedures in only pediatric patients. In 2005, 111 451 diagnostic catheterization procedures were performed, including 97 785 coronary angiograms. This was 6.6% higher than in 2003. The population-adjusted rate was 2263 coronary angiograms per million inhabitants. A total of 45 469 coronary interventions were performed, 12% more than in 2003. The population-adjusted rate was 1052 per million inhabitants. Coronary stents were used in 91.4% of procedures; 68 892 stents were implanted, which was 12% more than in 2003. Of these, 25 148 (36.5%) were drug-eluting stents. Some 7326 percutaneous coronary interventions were carried out in patients with acute myocardial infarction, 20.5% more than in 2003. These accounted for 16.1% of all percutaneous coronary interventions. Among non-coronary interventions, there was a decrease in the number of percutaneous mitral valvuloplasties (8%) and atrial septal defect closures (7%). In addition, there was a small increase in pediatric interventions (12%). Finally, it is important to note that the percentage of centers participating in the registry was high, what ensures that the data presented here are highly representative of the work carried out in cardiac catheterization laboratories in Spain.

Se presentan los resultados del Registro de Actividad de la Sección de Hemodinámica y Cardiología Intervencionista de la Sociedad Española de Cardiología del año 2004. Se recogen datos de 121 centros, casi la totalidad de los laboratorios del país. De ellos, 110 realizaron su actividad sobre todo en pacientes adultos y 11 exclusivamente en pacientes pediátricos.

Se realizaron 111.451 estudios diagnósticos con 97.785 coronariografías, lo que representa un aumento del 6,6% respecto al año 2003 y una tasa de 2.263 coronariografías por millón de habitantes. Se efectuaron 45.469 procedimientos de intervencionismo coronario, con un incremento del 12% respecto al año anterior y una tasa de 1.052 intervenciones por millón de habitantes. Se empleó stent intracoronario en el 91,4% de los procedimientos, con 68.892 unidades utilizadas (incremento del 12%), de las cuales 25.148 fueron stents liberadores de fármacos antiproliferativos (36,5%). Se llevaron a cabo 7.326 procedimientos de intervencionismo en el infarto agudo de miocardio, lo que supone un 20,5% más respecto al año 2003 y el 16,1% del total de las intervenciones coronarias percutáneas.

En el intervencionismo no coronario se observó una disminución del número de valvuloplastias mitrales (8%) y de cierres percutáneos de comunicación interauricular en pacientes adultos (7%), y un ligero incremento de los procedimientos intervencionistas en pacientes en edad pediátrica (12%). Finalmente, destacamos el alto grado de participación de centros en el registro, lo que hace que los datos aquí presentados sean representativos de la actividad hemodinámica en nuestro país.
