The purpose of this study was to estimate patient doses during coronary angiography (CA) and different complex percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) procedures in China. Consecutive 290 patients (90 CA, 200 PTCA) with known or suspected coronary artery disease were enrolled prospectively into six groups. Differences in patient doses among the six groups were analysed, and the patient doses observed in this study were compared with the recent literature. The median dose area product values were 27.0 and 195.0 Gy cm(2) for CA and PTCA, respectively. The patient doses during CA were similar to those reported by other authors, while those during PTCA were higher. The differences in radiation doses depended on the complexity of the procedures. Enhanced knowledge of radiation doses may help cardiologists implement radiation-sparing procedures to minimise patient exposure.
