Overview

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty, is an invasive cardiologic therapeutic procedure to treat the stenotic (narrowed) coronary arteries of the heart. These stenotic segments are due to the build up of cholesterol-laden plaques that form due to coronary heart disease.

Percutaneous coronary intervention can be performed to reduce or eliminate the symptoms of coronary artery disease, including angina (chest pain), dyspnea (shortness of breath) on exertion, and congestive heart failure. PCI is also used to abort an acute myocardial infarction, and in some specific cases it may reduce mortality.

Epidemiology and Demographics

  • Approximately 850,000 PCIs are performed each year in the United States.

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

Class III (Harm)

"1. PCI to improve survival should not be performed in stable patients with significant (greater than or equal to 50% diameter stenosis) unprotected left main CAD who have unfavorable anatomy for PCI and who are good candidates for CABG. [2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11] (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class IIa

"1. PCI to improve survival is reasonable as an alternative to CABG in selected stable patients with significant (greater than or equal to 50% diameter stenosis) unprotected left main CAD with:

a. Anatomic conditions associated with a low risk of PCI procedural complications and a high likelihood of good long-term outcome (e.g., a low SYNTAX score [lower than or equal to 22], ostial or trunk left main CAD); and (Level of Evidence: B)
b. Clinical characteristics that predict a significantly increased risk of adverse surgical outcomes (e.g., Society of Thoracic Surgeons–predicted risk of operative mortality 5%). [2][3][4][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. PCI to improve survival is reasonable in patients with UA/NSTEMI when an unprotected left main coronary artery is the culprit lesion and the patient is not a candidate for CABG. [4][18][30][20][21][26][27][28][29][31] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"3. PCI to improve survival is reasonable in patients with acute STEMI when an unprotected left main coronary artery is the culprit lesion, distal coronary flow is less than TIMI (Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction) grade 3, and PCI can be performed more rapidly and safely than CABG. [15][32][33] (Level of Evidence: C)"

Class IIb

"1. PCI to improve survival may be reasonable as an alternative to CABG in selected stablepatients with significant (greater than or equal to 50% diameter stenosis) unprotected left main CAD with:

a. Anatomic conditions associated with a low to intermediate risk of PCI procedural complicationsand an intermediate to high likelihood of good long-term outcome (e.g., low-intermediateSYNTAX score of lower than 33, bifurcation left main CAD); and (Level of Evidence: B)
b. Clinical characteristics that predict an increased risk of adverse surgical outcomes (e.g., moderate-severe chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, disability from previous stroke, or previous cardiac surgery; Society of Thoracic Surgeons–predicted risk of operative mortality greater than 2%). [2][3][4][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][34] (Level of Evidence: B)"

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) [35][36][37]; PCI (Level of Evidence: C) [35])"

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. [11][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45](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. [46][47][14][12][48] (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. [49][50][51][52][48][53][54][55][56] (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. [7][38][46][57] (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. [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66] (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. [57][67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76] (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. [59][62][65] (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. [14][12][47][48](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. [66] (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]

ACCF/AHA Guidelines for PCI in patients with Stable Ischemic Heart Disease (SIHD)[77]

PCI in patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction[1]

Coronary Angiography Strategies in STEMI[1]
Class I

"1. A strategy of immediate coronary angiography with intent to perform PCI (or emergency CABG) in patients with STEMI is recommended for:

a. Patients who are candidates for primary PCI.[78][79][80][81][82] (Level of Evidence: A)
b. Patients with severe heart failure or cardiogenic shock who are suitable candidates for revascularization.[83][84] (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIa

"1. A strategy of immediate coronary angiography (or transfer for immediate coronary angiography) with intent to perform PCI is reasonable for patients with STEMI, a moderate to large area of myocardium at risk, and evidence of failed fibrinolysis.[85][86] (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. A strategy of coronary angiography (or transfer for coronary angiography) 3 to 24 hours after initiating fibrinolytic therapy with intent to perform PCI is reasonable for hemodynamically stable patients with STEMI and evidence for successful fibrinolysis when angiography and revascularization can be performed as soon as logistically feasible in this time frame.[87][88][89][90][91] (Level of Evidence: A)"

Patients With STEMI: General and Specific Considerations[77]
Class I

"1. If immediately available, primary PCI should be performed in patients with STEMI(including true posterior MI) or MI with new or presumably new left bundle-branch block who can undergo PCI of the infarct artery within 12 hours of symptom onset, if performed in a timely fashion (balloon inflation goal within 90 minutes of presentation) by persons skilled in the procedure (individuals who perform more than 75 PCI procedures per year, ideally at least 11 PCIs per year for STEMI). The procedure should be supported by experienced personnel in an appropriate laboratory environment (one that performs more than 200 PCI procedures per year, of which at least 36 are primary PCI for STEMI, and that has cardiac surgery capability). (Level of Evidence: A) Primary PCI should be performed as quickly as possible, with a goal of a medical contact-to-balloon or door-to-balloon time within 90 minutes. (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. Primary PCI should be performed for patients less than 75 years old with ST elevation or presumably new left bundle-branch block who develop shock within 36 hours of MI and are suitable for revascularization that can be performed within 18 hours of shock, unless further support is futile because of the patient’s wishes or contraindications/unsuitability for further invasive care. (Level of Evidence: A)"

"3. Primary PCI should be performed in patients with severe congestive heart failure and/orpulmonary edema (Killip class 3) and onset of symptoms within 12 hours. Themedical contact-to-balloon or door-to balloon time should be as short as possible (i.e., goal within 90 minutes). (Level of Evidence: B)"

Class III

"1. Elective PCI should not be performed in a non-infarct-related artery at the time of primary PCI of the infarct related artery in patients without hemodynamic compromise. (Level of Evidence: C)"

"2. Primary PCI should not be performed in asymptomatic patients more than 12 hours after onset of STEMIwho are hemodynamically and electrically stable. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Class IIa

"1. Primary PCI is reasonable for selected patients 75 years or older with ST elevationor left bundle-branch block or who develop shock within 36 hours of MI and are suitable for revascularization that can be performed within 18 hours of shock. Patients with good prior functional status who are suitable for revascularization and agree to invasive care may be selected for such an invasive strategy. (Level of Evidence: B)"

"2. It is reasonable to perform primary PCI for patients with onset of symptoms within the prior 12 to 24 hours and 1 or more of the following:

a. Severe congestive heart failure (Level of Evidence: C)
b. Hemodynamic or electrical instability (Level of Evidence: C)
c. Evidence of persistent ischemia (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIb

"1. The benefit of primary PCI for STEMI patients eligible for fibrinolysis when performed by an operator who performs fewer than 75 PCI procedures per year (or fewer than 11 PCIs for STEMI per year) is not well established.(Level of Evidence: C)"

PCI After Successful Fibrinolysis or for Patients Not Undergoing Primary Reperfusion[77]
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

[77]

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)"
"3. PCI is reasonable in patients with diseased vein grafts more than 3 years afterCABG. (Level of Evidence: B)"
"4. PCI is reasonable when technically feasible in patients with a patent left internal mammary artery graft who have clinically significant obstructions in other vessels. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Revascularization Before Non-cardiac Surgery

[1]

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Routine prophylactic coronary revascularizationshould not be performed in patients with stable CAD before noncardiac surgery.[92][93] (Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. Elective non-cardiac surgery should not be performed in the 4 to 6 weeks after balloon angioplasty or BMS implantation or the 12 months after DES implantation in patients in whom the P2Y12 inhibitorwill need to be discontinued peri-operatively.[94][95][96][97](Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIa
"1. 1. For patients who require PCI and are scheduled for elective non-cardiac surgery in the subsequent 12 months, a strategy of balloon angioplasty, or BMS implantation followed by 4 to 6 weeks of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), is reasonable.[98][99][100][96][101][95][102](Level of Evidence: B)"
"2. For patients with drug eluting stent (DES) who must undergo urgent surgical procedures that mandate the discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT), it is reasonable to continue aspirin if possible and restart the P2Y12 inhibitor as soon as possible in the immediate postoperative period.[100][103] (Level of Evidence: C)"

2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guideline Recommendations: Adjunctive Therapeutic Devices [1]

Thrombectomy

[1]

Class IIa
"1. Aspiration thrombectomy is reasonable for patients undergoing primary PCI.[104][105][106] (Level of Evidence: B)"

Laser Angioplasty

[1]

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Laser angioplasty should not be used routinely during PCI. [107][108][109] (Level of Evidence: A)"
Class IIb
"1. Laser angioplasty might be considered for fibrotic or moderately calcified lesions that cannot be crossed or dilated with conventional balloon angioplasty. [110] (Level of Evidence: C)"

Intravenous Antiplatelet Therapy: Sudden Ischemia Heart Disease (SIHD)

[1]

Class IIa
"1. In patients undergoing elective PCI treated with unfractionated heparin (UFH) and not pretreated with clopidogrel, it is reasonable to administer aGP IIb/IIIa inhibitor (abciximab,double-bolus eptifibatide, or high-bolus dose tirofiban).[111][112][113] (Level of Evidence: B)"
Class IIb
"1. In patients undergoing elective PCI with stent implantation treated with unfractionated heparin (UFH) and adequately pretreated with clopidogrel, it might be reasonable to administer a GP IIb/IIIa inhibitor (abciximab, double-bolus eptifibatide, orhigh-bolus dose tirofiban).[111][114][115][116] (Level of Evidence: B)"

2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guideline Recommendations: Peri-procedural Myocardial Infarction Assessment[1]

Peri-procedural Myocardial Infarction Assessment

Class I
"1. In patients who have signs orsymptoms suggestive of myocardial infarctionduring or after PCI or in asymptomatic patients with significant persistent angiographic complications (e.g., large side-branch occlusion, flow-limiting dissection, no reflow phenomenon, or coronary thrombosis), creatinine kinase-MB and troponin I or T should be measured. (Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIb
"1. Routine measurement of cardiac biomarkers (creatinine kinase-MB and/or troponin I or T). (Level of Evidence: C)"

2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI Guideline Recommendations: Restenosis [1]

Exercise Testing

[1]

Class III (No Benefit)
"1. Routine periodic stress testing of asymptomatic patients after PCI without specific clinical indications should not be performed.[117](Level of Evidence: C)"
Class IIa
"1. In patients entering a formal cardiac rehabilitation program after PCI, treadmill exercise testing is reasonable. (Level of Evidence: C)"

Cardiac Rehabilitation

[1]

Class I
"1. Medically supervised exercise programs (cardiac rehabilitation) should be recommended to patients after PCI, particularly for moderate- to high-risk patients for whom supervised exercise training is warranted.[118][119][120][121][122][123][124][125][126] (Level of Evidence: A)"

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.[127][128] (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.[127][129][130][131][132] (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.[127] (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.[127] (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)"
