ACCF/AHA Guidelines for Revascularization to Improve Survival: Non-Left Main Coronary Artery Disease[1]

Class I

"1. CABG or PCI to improve survival is beneficial in survivors of sudden cardiac deathwith presumed ischemia-mediated ventricular tachycardia caused by significant (greater than or equal to 70% diameter) stenosis in a major coronary artery. (CABG (Level of Evidence: B) [2][3][4]; PCI (Level of Evidence: C) [2])"

Class III (Harm)

"1. CABG or PCI should not be performed with the primary or sole intent to improve survival in patients with stable ischemic heart disease with 1 or morecoronary stenoses that are not anatomically or functionally significant (e.g., greater than 70% diameter non–left main coronary artery stenosis, fractional flow reserve 0.80, no or only mild ischemia on noninvasive testing), involve only the left circumflex or right coronary artery, or subtend only a small area of viable myocardium. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13](Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIa

"1. It is reasonable to choose CABG over PCI to improve survival in patients with complex3-vessel CAD (e.g., SYNTAX score greater than 22) with or without involvement of the proximal LAD artery who are good candidates for CABG. [14][15][16][17][18] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. CABG is probably recommended in preference to PCI to improve survival in patients withmultivessel CAD and diabetes mellitus, particularly if a left internal mammary artery graft can be anastomosed to the LAD artery. [19][20][21][22][18][23][24][25][26] (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIb

"1. The usefulness of PCI to improve survival is uncertain in patients with 2- or 3-vessel CAD (with or without involvement of the proximal LAD artery) or 1-vessel proximal LAD disease. [27][6][14][28] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. The usefulness of CABG or PCI to improve survival is uncertain in patients with previous CABG and extensive anterior wall ischemia on noninvasive testing. [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37] (Level of Evidence: B)"

ACCF/AHA Guidelines for Revascularization to Improve Symptoms[1]

Class I

"1. CABG orPCI to improve symptoms is beneficial in patients with 1 or more significant (greater than 70% diameter) coronary artery stenoses amenable to revascularization and unacceptable angina despite guideline-directed medical therapy. [28][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47] (Level of Evidence: A)"

Class III (Harm)

"1. CABG orPCI to improve symptoms should not be performed in patients who do not meet anatomic (greater than 50% left main or greater than 70% non–left main stenosis) or physiological (e.g., abnormal fractional flow reserve) criteria for revascularization. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Class IIa

"1. CABG orPCI to improve symptoms is reasonable in patients with 1 or more significant (greater than 70% diameter) coronary artery stenoses and unacceptable angina for whom guideline-directed medical therapy cannot be implemented because of medication contraindications, adverse effects, or patient preferences. (Level of Evidence: C)"

"2. PCI to improve symptoms is reasonable in patients with previous CABG, 1 or more significant (greater than 70% diameter) coronary artery stenoses associated with ischemia, and unacceptable anginadespite guideline-directed medical therapy. [30][33][36] (Level of Evidence: C)"

"3. It is reasonable to choose CABG over PCI to improve symptoms in patients with complex 3-vessel CAD (e.g.,SYNTAX score greater than 22), with or without involvement of the proximal LAD artery who are good candidates for CABG. [16][17][15][18](Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIb

"1. CABG to improve symptoms might be reasonable for patients with previous CABG, 1 or more significant (greater than 70% diameter) coronary artery stenoses not amenable to PCI, and unacceptable angina despite guideline-directed medical therapy. [37] (Level of Evidence: C)"

Procedure

The term balloon angioplasty is commonly used to describe percutaneous coronary intervention, which describes the inflation of a balloon within the coronary artery to crush the plaque into the walls of the artery. While balloon angioplasty is still done as a part of nearly all percutaneous coronary interventions, it is rarely the only procedure performed.

Other procedures that are done during a percutaneous coronary intervention include:

Balloon angioplasty is now used to facilitate stent deployment.

2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guideline Recommendations: Procedural Considerations [1]

PCI After Successful Fibrinolysis or for Patients Not Undergoing Primary Reperfusion[48]
Class I

"1. In patients whose anatomy is suitable, PCI should be performed when there is objective evidence of recurrent MI. (Level of Evidence: C)"

"2. In patients whose anatomy is suitable, PCI should be performed for moderate or severe spontaneous or provocable myocardial ischemia during recovery from STEMI. (Level of Evidence: B)"

"3. In patients whose anatomy is suitable, PCI should be performed for cardiogenic shock or hemodynamic instability. (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIa

"1. It is reasonable to perform routine PCI in patients with LV ejection fraction less than or equal to 0.40, heart failure, or serious ventricular arrhythmias. (Level of Evidence: C)"

"2. It is reasonable to perform PCI when there is documented clinical heart failure during the acute episode, even though subsequent evaluation shows preserved LV function (LV ejection fractiongreater than 0.40). (Level of Evidence: C)"

Class IIb

"1. PCImight be considered as part of an invasive strategy after fibrinolytic therapy. (Level of Evidence: C)"

PCI in patients with Prior Coronary Bypass Surgery

[48]

Class I
"1. When technically feasible, PCI should be performed in patients with early ischemia (usually within 30 days) after CABG. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. It is recommended that distal embolic protection devices be used when technically feasible in patients undergoing PCI to saphenous vein grafts. (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class III (No Benefit)
"1. PCI is not recommended in patients with prior CABG for chronic total vein graft occlusions.(Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. PCI is not recommended in patients who have multiple target lesions with prior CABG and who have multi-vessel disease,failure of multiple SVGs, andimpaired LV function unless repeat CABG poses excessive risk due to severe comorbid conditions. (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIa
"1. PCI is reasonable in patients with ischemia that occurs 1 to 3 years after CABG and who have preserved LV function with discrete lesions in graft conduits. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. PCI is reasonable in patients with disabling angina secondary to new disease in a native coronary circulation after CABG. (If angina is not typical, objective evidence ofischemia should be obtained.) (Level of Evidence: B)"

2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guideline Recommendations: Quality and Performance Considerations [1]

Quality and Performance

[1]

Class I
"1. Every PCI program should operate a quality-improvement program that routinely
i. reviews quality and outcomes of the entire program; (Level of Evidence: C)
ii. reviews results of individual operators; (Level of Evidence: C)
iii. includes risk adjustment; (Level of Evidence: C)
iv. provides peer review of difficult or complicated cases; and (Level of Evidence: C)
v. performs random case reviews. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. Every PCI program should participate in a regional or national PCI registry for the purpose of benchmarking its outcomes against current national norms. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Certification and Maintenance of Certification

[1]

Class IIa
"1. It is reasonable for all physicians who perform PCI to participate in the American Board of Internal Medicine interventional cardiology board certification and maintenance of certification program. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Operator and Institutional Competency and Volume

[1]

Class I
"1. Elective/urgent PCI should be performed by operators with an acceptable annual volume (greater than or equal to 75 procedures) at high-volume centers (more than 400 procedures) with on-site cardiac surgery.[2][3] (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. Elective/urgent PCI should be performed by operators and institutions whose current risk-adjusted outcomes statistics are comparable to those reported in contemporary national data registries. (Level of Evidence: C)"
"3. Primary PCI for STEMI should be performed by experienced operators who perform more than 75 elective PCI procedures per year and, ideally, at least 11 PCI procedures for STEMI per year. Ideally, these procedures should be performed in institutions that perform more than 400 elective PCIs per year and more than 36 Primary PCI procedures forSTEMI per year.[2][4][5][6][7] (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class III (No Benefit)
"1. It is not recommended that elective/urgent PCI be performed by low-volume operators (75 procedures per year) at low-volume centers (200 to 400 procedures per year) with or without on-site cardiac surgery. An institution with a volume of fewer than 200 procedures per year, unless in a region that is underserved because of geography, should carefully consider whether it should continue to offer this service.[2] (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"1. It is reasonable that operators with acceptable volume (75 PCI procedures per year) perform elective/urgent PCI at low-volume centers (200 to 400 PCI procedures per year) with on-sitecardiac surgery.[2] (Level of Evidence: C)"
"2. It is reasonable that low-volume operators (75 PCI procedures per year) perform elective/urgent PCI at high-volume centers (more than 400 PCI procedures per year) with on-site cardiac surgery. Ideally, operators with an annual procedure volume of fewer than 75 procedures per year should only work at institutions with an activity level of more than 600 procedures per year. Operators who perform fewer than 75 procedures per year should develop a defined mentoring relationship with a highly experienced operator who has an annual procedural volume of at least 150 procedures. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"1. The benefit of primary PCI for STEMI patients eligible for fibrinolysis when performed by an operator who performs fewer than 75 procedures per year (11 PCIs for STEMI per year) is not well established. (Level of Evidence: C)"
