Retrospective Analysis of the Thai Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry: Impacts of Center Volume and Operator Experience on Outcomes.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) outcomes can vary due to various factors, including patient clinical condition, complexity of coronary lesions, expertise of operators, and quality of the PCI center.

Aims

This study evaluated the influence of PCI center volume and operator experience on patient outcomes after the procedure.

Methods

Retrospective data on demographic, clinical details, and outcomes for all patients undergoing PCI across 39 hospitals in Thailand from 2018 to 2019 were retrieved. PCI center volume was categorized based on annual number of interventions: low (< 200), intermediate (200-499), and high (≥ 500).
