  1. When PCI in NSTEMI? Giuseppe Biondi Zoccai, MD DepartmentofMedico-SurgicalSciences and Biotechnologies Sapienza UniversityofRome gbiondizoccai@gmail.com Emergenzecardiologiche - Marina di Ravenna 15:15-15:30 – 20 April 2012

  2. DO YOU KNOW HOW TRAIN BRAKES WORK? FAIL-SAFE SYSTEMS A fail-safe or fail-secure device is one that, in the event of failure, responds in a way that will cause no harm, or at least a minimum of harm, to other devices or danger to personnel. Air brakes on railway trains are held in the "off" position by air pressure in the brake system. Should a brake line split, or a carriage become de-coupled, the air pressure will be lost and the brakes applied. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fail-safe

  5. LEARNING GOALS • What is NSTEMI in 2012? • What does PCI entail? • Don’ts • Take home messages

  6. LEARNING GOALS • What is NSTEMI in 2012? • What does PCI entail? • Don’ts • Take home messages

  7. DEFINITION Hamm et al, Eur Heart J 2011

  8. HS TROPONIN IN STABLE CAD Ndrepepa al, Am J Cardiol 2011

  9. LEARNING GOALS • What is NSTEMI in 2012? • What does PCI entail? • Don’ts • Take home messages

  10. KEY ASSUMPTION • Coronary angiography is not synonimous with PCI • Risk-benefit balance of angio is much higher than that of PCI • However, alternative to angio are available (e.g. imaging-based stress testing, CT coronary angiography)

  11. INCIDENCE OF PERI-PCI MI Novack et al, Arch intern Med 2012

  12. INCIDENCE OF DES THROMBOSIS very late total acute subacute late D’Ascenzo et al, submitted

  20. 6TH NO: LACK OF SIGNIFICANT LESIONS* *e.g. NSTEMI not due to CAD

  21. 6TH NO: LACK OF SIGNIFICANT LESIONS* *e.g. NSTEMI not due to CAD

  22. 7TH NO: LESION IS IRRELEVANT

  23. 7TH NO: LESION IS IRRELEVANT Tonion et al, New Eng J Med 2009

  24. 8TH NO: CABG IS INDICATED Novara et al, J Cardiovasc Med 2012

  25. 9TH NO: VALVE SURGERY IS INDICATED Colombo et al, G Ital Cardiol 2005

  26. 10TH NO: YOU CANNOT AFFORD IT Dijksman et al, Int J Cardiol 2009; de Winter et al, New Engl J Med 2005

  27. TAKE HOME MESSAGES • In the current evidence and experience context, it is safer to focus only on which patients with NSTEMI should not be offered PCI rather than the other way round • Coronary angiography and PCI should also be distinguished, as they have different scopes and safety profiles • Several absolute and relative contraindications to PCI in NSTEMI can be envisioned, requiring case by case decision-making
