CV ASC Registry Education-Seq#7800 (PCI Status)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The patient's condition determines whether a PCI status is elective or urgent. Elective procedures are done on an outpatient basis or during a subsequent hospitalization without significant risk. For stable patients, procedures are scheduled for convenience. Urgent procedures are done inpatient before discharge due to risks of ischemia, infarction, or death. Inpatients or emergency department patients needing cardiac catheterization are admitted based on clinical presentation. If the diagnostic path was elective with no complications, the PCI is also elective. The status is assigned based on the risk and urgency of the patient's condition for the procedure.
