Risk calculators and risk factors for Preparation of the patient for PCI

Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [7]

Overview

There are several steps involved in preparing the patient for PCI, which include the use of premedications and the use of a Heart Team approach. Attention should be given to possible adverse reactions to contrast, possible anaphylactoid reactions, the use of statins, bleeding risk in the patient, and the presence of on-site surgical back-up services.

Preparation of the Patient for PCI

Premedications

  1. Aspirin
  2. Clopidogrel

2011 and 2005 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guidelines for Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (DO NOT EDIT)[1][2]

Heart Team Approach to Revascularization Decisions (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I

"1. A Heart Team approach to revascularization is recommended in patients with unprotected left main or complex CAD. [3][4][5] (Level of Evidence: C)"

Class IIa

"1. Calculation of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons and SYNTAX (Synergy between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) scores is reasonable in patients with unprotected left main and complex CAD. [5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] (Level of Evidence: B)"

Contrast-Induced Acute Kidney Injury (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I

"1. Patients should be assessed for risk of contrast-induced acute kidney injury before PCI.[13][14] (Level of Evidence: C)"

"2. Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization with contrast media should receive adequate preparatory hydration.[15][16][17][18] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"3. In patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) (creatinine clearance ≤60 mL/min), the volume of contrast media should be minimized.[19][20][21] (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Administration of N-acetyl-L-cysteine is not useful for the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury.[22][23] [24][25][26] (Level of Evidence: A)"

Anaphylactoid Reactions (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I

"1. Patients with prior evidence of an anaphylactoid reaction to contrast media should receive appropriate steroid and antihistamine prophylaxis before repeat contrast administration. [27][28][29][30](Level of Evidence: B)"

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. In patients with a prior history of allergic reactions to shellfish or seafood, anaphylactoid prophylaxis for contrast reaction is not beneficial. [31][32][33](Level of Evidence: C)"

Statin Treatment (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class IIa

"1. Administration of a high-dose statin is reasonable before PCI to reduce the risk of peri-procedural myocardial infarction. (Level of Evidence: A forstatin-naïve patients) [34][35][36][37][38][39][40];(Level of Evidence: B for those on chronic statin therapy) [41]"

Bleeding Risk (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class I

"1. All patients should be evaluated for risk of bleeding before PCI. (Level of Evidence: C)"

PCI in Hospitals Without On-Site Surgical Backup (DO NOT EDIT)[1]

Class III (Harm)

"1. Primary or elective PCI should not be performed in hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery capabilities without a proven plan for rapid transport to a cardiac surgery operating room in a nearby hospital or without appropriate hemodynamic support capability for transfer. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Class IIa

"1. Primary PCI is reasonable in hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery, provided that appropriate planning for program development has been accomplished.[42][43] (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIb

"1. Elective PCI might be considered in hospitals without on-site cardiac surgery, provided that appropriate planning for program development has been accomplished and rigorous clinical and angiographic criteria are used for proper patient selection.[43][44][45] (Level of Evidence: B)"

Role of Onsite Cardiac Surgical Back-Up (DO NOT EDIT)[2]

Class I
"1. Elective PCI should be performed by operators with acceptable annual volume (at least 75 procedures per year) at high-volume centers (more than 400 procedures annually) that provide immediately available onsite emergency cardiac surgical services. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. Primary PCI for patients with STEMI should be performed in facilities with onsite cardiac surgery.(Level of Evidence: B)"
Class III
"1. Elective PCI should not be performed at institutions that do not provide onsite cardiac surgery. (Level of Evidence: C)"
