Quality and Safety in Health Care, Part XL: Stents and Unusual Indications for a PCI

Clinical Nuclear Medicine
Jay A Harolds

Abstract

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) are done for a variety of indications. Data from the CathPCI Registry is highly useful to evaluate the outcomes from performing a PCI procedure in unusual circumstances, such as in cases of chronic total coronary artery occlusion, cardiogenic shock after a myocardial infarction, syncopal patients, asymptomatic patients, and before surgery that is noncardiac. Registry information is also valuable in evaluating the efficacy of coronary stents. This article summarizes some of the information available on these subjects.
