The Contemporary High-Risk PCI Patient
The confluence of three factors—coronary complexity, patient comorbidities and hemodynamics—influence the decision to use Impella in high-risk PCI (HRPCI).1
The A-SMART-EF Risk Score Can Help Predict 90-Day Mortality in Patients Undergoing Impella-Assisted PCI2
Predicting the risk of mortality before a HRPCI is important for patient selection and shared decision-making. Using the 1237 patients from PROTECT III Study, specific characteristics were identified as being helpful at predicting mortality risk at 90 days. Those included (1) Age > 75 years, (2) SYNTAX score ≥ 33, (3) MI at presentation, (4) Hgb < 12 mg/dL, (5) GFR < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and (6) LVEF < 35%.
The resulting SMART-EF risk score was developed and helped to stratify patients into low or high-risk groups for predicting 90-day mortality.
