- Abstract
Purpose: To assess the intraocular pressure (IOP) changes during invasive coronary angiography (ICA). Materials and Methods: Twenty-seven eyes of 27 patients underwent elective coronary angiography due to various conditions were included in this study. IOPs and mean arterial blood pressures (MBP) were measured before (IOP1, MBP1), during (IOP2, MBP2) and after (IOP3, MBP3) ICA procedure. Results: 15 male, 12 female patients were prospectively recruited and mean age of patients was 65.5±6.7 years. MBP1, MBP2 and MBP3 values were 112±18.7 mmHg, 108.5±13.4 mmHg and 109.4±12.2 mmHg, respectively. No statistically significant change was detected between MBP values (p>0.05). Mean IOP1, IOP2 and IOP3 values were 18.3±3.7 mmHg, 18.5±.4.2 mmHg and 18.0±3.3 mm-Hg, respectively. A slightly increase in IOP during the procedure was identified, but it was not statistically significant (p>0.05). Conclusions: Invasive coronary angiography is a safe procedure in terms of IOP fluctuations in individuals without any eye disease.
