Key result
Between 1991 and 2002, total coronary revascularization activity in DACH countries increased by 261% to 3243 per million, driven largely by increases in percutaneous coronary interventions.
Observational
Yes
Coronary revascularization productivity, particularly PCI, grew significantly in Europe between 1991 and 2002, with the DACH countries showing much higher productivity than the rest of Europe.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May guide European PCI capacity planning; leaves open effects on contemporary outcomes in DACH regions.
Ghosh et al. (2004) conducted an observational in Coronary revascularization. Coronary revascularization (CAS and PCI) vs. 1991 baseline was evaluated on Coronary revascularization rates. Between 1991 and 2002, total coronary revascularization activity in DACH countries increased by 261% to 3243 per million, driven largely by increases in percutaneous coronary interventions.
