“There have been a lot of changes since 2001, some of them dramatic. This document sets the stage for what's really happening in cath labs today and updates everyone on accepted quality standards and best practices.”
“We don't always have randomized clinical trials to rely on. The purpose of this document is to define a practice standard for how you set up and run a cath lab, the people in the cath lab, the quality assurance programs—all the things cath lab teams should be thinking about.”

“SCAI created the Best Practices Guidelines in 2012 because there had been no process standardization in cath labs and labs had been working under only local regulation and policy. There is a tremendous appetite among interventional cardiologists for a comprehensive document outlining the details on how a cardiac cath lab should operate.”
