Why the study?
Percutaneous coronary intervention without on-site surgical backup has been performed with acceptable outcomes since the 1980s, prompting expert consensus recommendations on best practices and facility requirements.
This document provides updated expert consensus recommendations and best practices for facilities performing percutaneous coronary intervention without on-site surgical backup.
Enables safer PCI without on-site surgery in more centers; extends prior SCAI consensus with updated facility standards.
Although once considered high-risk and below the standard of care, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) without on-site surgical backup has been performed with acceptable outcomes since the 1980s.1 An initial consensus document on PCI without surgery on site (no-SOS) was published by Society for Cardiovascular Angiography & Interventions (SCAI) in 2007 and updated in 2014.2,3 The 2014 document summarized new literature, reviewed existing guidelines and other publications related to PCI with no-SOS, and recommended best practices and requirements for facilities performing PCI with no-SOS.

Grines et al. (2023) conducted a review in Percutaneous coronary intervention without on-site surgical backup. Percutaneous coronary intervention without on-site surgical backup was evaluated. The SCAI expert consensus statement summarizes literature and recommends best practices and requirements for facilities performing percutaneous coronary intervention without on-site surgical backup.
