Implication

May support refined PCI selection to avert emergencies; leaves open validation with contemporary devices in prospective studies.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients with failed percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA)
I
Intervention
Emergency coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG)

Emergency CABG after failed PTCA is associated with worse outcomes than elective surgery, highlighting the need to minimize delays to reperfusion.
