Ad Hoc Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Consensus Statement Quality Improvement

A consensus statement from the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI)

Percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) may be performed during the same session as diagnostic catheterization (ad hoc PCI) or at a later session (delayed PCI). Ad hoc PCI for stable ischemic heart disease requires pre-procedural planning, and reassessment after diagnostic angiography must be performed to ensure its appropriateness. Patients may prefer ad hoc PCI because it is convenient. Payers may prefer ad hoc PCI because it is cost‐efficient. The majority of data confirm equivalent outcomes in ad hoc versus delayed PCI. However, there are some situations in which delayed PCI may be safer or yield better outcomes. This document reviews patient subsets and clinical situations in which one strategy is preferable over the other.
