Percutaneous coronary intervention outcomes based on American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association coronary lesion classification over 14 years – Melbourne interventional group (MIG) regis
Abstract
Background
The American College of Cardiology / American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) introduced a coronary lesion classification in 1988 to stratify coronary lesions for probability of procedural success and complications after coronary angioplasty. Our aim is to assess the validity of the ACC/AHA lesion classification in predicting outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a contemporary cohort of patients.
