Complications of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may have significant impact on
patient survival and healthcare costs. PCI procedural complexity and patient risk are …

Background Traditional research approaches do not promote timely implementation of
evidence-based innovations (EBIs) to benefit patients. Embedding research within health …

Objectives This study sought to determine whether machine learning can be used to better
identify patients at risk for death or congestive heart failure (CHF) rehospitalization after …

Background Patient selection and outcomes for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) have changed over the past decade. However …

Background: Prior studies of radial access for cardiac catheterization have focused on early
adopters of the technique, and some have described a risk/treatment paradox of low radial …

BACKGROUND: Failure to rescue (FTR) describes in-hospital mortality following a
procedural complication and has been adopted as a quality metric in multiple specialties …

Background Traditional angiography only displays two-dimensional images of the coronary
arteries during stent implantation. However, intravascular imaging can show the structure of …

Key Points• Elective PCI in settings without SOS has increased in volume and complexity
(extending beyond the simple lesion recommendations in the 2014 document). In addition …

Background The COVID-19 pandemic and iodinated contrast shortage may have affected
interventional cardiology (IC) fellowship training. Objectives The aim of this study was to …

Background: Public reporting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) often uses
periprocedural (30 days) mortality as a surrogate for procedural quality, though it is unclear …
