Structured PICO
P
Population
Patients presenting with clinical scenarios considered for coronary revascularization, including acute coronary syndromes, asymptomatic patients, and those with high burden of coronary artery disease.
I
Intervention
Coronary revascularization (percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass grafting)
O
Outcome
Appropriateness of revascularization scored on a scale of 1 to 9 by a technical panel
The updated appropriate use criteria provide guidance on coronary revascularization, supporting its use in acute and highly symptomatic/ischemic scenarios while discouraging it in low-risk, asymptomatic patients.
