Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has rapidly advanced, increasing significantly since 2000. New guidelines address training, consent, and evidence to maintain standards in coronary heart disease treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Medicine
  • Interventional Cardiology

Background:

  • Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has seen remarkable progress since 1977.
  • Technological advancements and industry innovation have transformed coronary heart disease (CHD) treatment.
  • PCI activity in the UK has surged by 87% in four years, increasing the PCI to coronary artery bypass grafting ratio to 2.5:1.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide updated guidelines for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the UK.
  • To address the rapid evolution of interventional cardiology and its impact on CHD treatment.
  • To incorporate new sections on training, informed consent, and evidence base.

Main Methods:

  • Development of the third set of guidelines by the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society and the British Cardiac Society.
