Summary
This study involves the prospective quantification and classification of waste produced during interventional cardiology procedures. For each included case, the total waste generated will be measured in kilograms immediately after completion of the procedure. Waste will be physically sorted and recorded by category in accordance with four predefined waste types: (i) paper and cardboard, (ii) regular waste (i.e., municipal solid waste or general trash), (iii) regulated medical waste (requiring specialized incineration including sharpsafe), and (iv) recyclable plastic. Based on two models ("Basel Model" and "Standard Model"), the study will perform scenario-based calculations to compare the environmental and economic impact of both strategies.
