Twenty hospitals are now certified to perform elective PCIs without onsite cardiac surgery, and it continues to be safe when performed in these hospitals.
This report provides two 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.
Key Findings
• The elective PCI mortality rate for certified hospitals was equivalent to the statewide elective PCI mortality rate of 0.25 percent.
• There were zero post-PCI strokes at certified hospitals, while the statewide elective PCI stroke rate for certified hospitals was 0.10 percent.
