Elective Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) Program Report, 2022

In 2022, 21 hospitals were certified to perform elective PCIs without onsite cardiac surgery. The procedure in these hospitals continues to be safe when compared with facilities that do have onsite cardiac surgery.

This report provides risk-adjusted outcome measures for PCI mortality and post-PCI stroke. Also included are observed events for post-PCI emergency coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery.

The report includes results for the 21 certified hospitals and is the seventh annual outcomes report for the elective PCI program.

California Health and Safety Code §1256.01 authorizes the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) to certify hospitals that do not have on-site cardiac surgery, but have met specific requirements to perform elective PCIs. The Department of Health Care Access and Information (HCAI) is required to use data collected by the American College of Cardiology (ACC)-National Cardiovascular Data Registry (NCDR) from certified hospitals to create annual reports of performance for certified hospitals.

Key Findings

• In 2022, 21 hospitals were certified to perform elective PCIs without onsite cardiac surgery. The procedure in these hospitals continues to be safe when compared with facilities that do have onsite cardiac surgery.

• The 2022 elective PCI mortality rate for the 21 certified hospitals was 0.28 percent compared to a statewide elective PCI mortality rate of 0.26 percent. In 2021, the elective PCI mortality rate was 0.07 percent for 21 certified hospitals.

• The 2022 elective PCI stroke rate for the 21 certified hospitals was 0.21 percent compared to a statewide rate of 0.12 percent. In 2021, the elective PCI stroke rate was 0.07 percent for 21 certified hospitals.

Note: Not Applicable risk-adjusted rates were not calculated. Data needed to derive the statewide rate for comparison are no longer available in the NCDR CathPCI Registry.
