This report examines data from the 118 PCI centres in the UK that performed more than 100,00 PCI operations in 2017/18.

Some of the key findings from this report include:

  • The proportion of cases performed for any acute coronary syndrome is stable at about 67%, of which 27% are for the emergency treatment of STEMI by primary PCI.
  • A small decrease in the proportion of PCIs performed for stent thrombosis (2.9% in 2014 down to 1.8% for the last 2 years).
  • A slight increase (to 1.8%) in the proportion undergoing PCI in the context of out of hospital cardiac arrest with the requirement for pre-procedural ventilation.
