Insights
Interventional cardiology procedures in India increased by 13.14% in 2018, with rising trends in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacements (TAVR). This reflects growing disease burden and adoption of advanced techniques.
Area of Science:
- Cardiology
- Interventional Cardiology
- Public Health
Background:
- The Cardiological Society of India's National Interventional Council (CSI-NIC) annually collects data on cardiac interventions nationwide.
- This data highlights disease burden, intervention volumes, and adoption of new procedures across Indian centers.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the trends and volume of coronary and non-coronary interventions performed in India during 2018.
- To assess the adoption of newer interventional cardiology procedures and technologies.
Main Methods:
- Retrospective data collection from all functional cardiac catheterization laboratories across India.
- Data gathered for the period January 1, 2018, to December 31, 2018, via online submission, email, and proformas.
- Compilation and analysis of data for various interventional procedures.
Main Results:
- Over 438,351 percutaneous interventions were performed, utilizing 578,164 coronary stents, marking a 13.14% increase from 709 centers.
- Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) was primarily indicated for post-myocardial infarction cases.
- Increased utilization of adjunctive imaging techniques during PCI and a rise in Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacements (TAVR) were observed.
Conclusions:
- Percutaneous coronary interventions for coronary artery disease show a consistent year-on-year increase.
- There was a notable rise in multivessel PCI, complex PCI, intravascular imaging-guided PCI, and TAVR procedures compared to the previous year.
Objective:
The National interventional Council of Cardiological Society of India (CSI-NIC) is the society representing all the practising interventional cardiologists across country. Every year National interventional council collects the data of coronary and non-coronary interventions across all the cath labs in the country and data will be presented at annual meet. This Data will show the burden of disease, number of interventions and adaption of various newer procedures from various centers across India.
Methods:
Retrospective collection of data pertaining to all the coronary and non coronary interventions across India for the period of 1 year from January 1 st 2018 to December 31 st 2018. This data was collected by various methods like online submission, email based collection of data and filled proforma from all working cath labs all over the country. All the data was compiled and analysed for various interventional procedures.
Results:
A total of 4,38,351 percutaneous interventions were performed in 1 year period during 2018 and utilized 5,78,164 coronary stents with a 13.14% increase in number of procedures from 709 centers. The major indication for PCI was post myocardial infarction. There was an increase in use of adjunctive imaging techniques along with PCI,increase in number of Transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR) across country.
Conclusions:
The prevalence and number of percutaneous coronary interventions for coronary artery disease were on rising trend year by year. There was an increase in number of multivessel PCI, compelx PCI, intravascular imaging guided precision PCI and the number of TAVR performed compared to previous year.
