A new risk tool helps community hospitals safely select patients for elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without onsite cardiac surgery. This ensures high-quality care and facilitates same-day discharge for appropriate patients.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Medicine
- Interventional Cardiology
- Healthcare Management
Background:
- New Jersey Cardiac Law (P.L. 2021, c. 18) permits cardiac catheterization labs without onsite cardiac surgery to perform elective percutaneous interventions (PCI).
- Careful patient selection, screening, and risk stratification are crucial for elective PCI procedures.
