Why the study?
Percutaneous techniques to treat obstructive coronary artery disease continue to evolve, requiring an update to the 2015 recommendations to describe PCI provision in the UK for optimal patient care.
Provides updated recommendations from the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society for the provision of percutaneous coronary intervention in the UK.
BCIS PCI recommendations guide UK delivery standards; Level 5 registry data leaves open prospective validation of volume thresholds.
Percutaneous techniques to treat obstructive coronary artery disease continue to evolve and the evidence base informing our practice is shared and summarised in international guidelines. In the UK, the British Cardiovascular Intervention Society represents and supports interventional cardiologists undertaking both coronary and structural interventions. Procedural data are collected in a national registry and these inform our understanding of UK practice and outcomes. These recommendations, pertaining to coronary intervention alone, are an update of those published in 2015 and describe the provision of percutaneous coronary intervention in the UK intended to provide optimal patient care.
