What would you do?
PCI Procedural Success
1. Angiographic (anatomical) success
2. Without clinical complications
Angiographic (anatomical) success:
• minimal luminal diameter < 10% stenosis
• TIMI 3 flow
Without clinical complications
• MACE (major adverse cardiac events)
• MACCE (major adverse cardiac &
cerebrovascular events)
PCI Clinical Complications
MACE (major adverse cardiac events)
composite of
death,
MI or
emergency revascularisation
MACCE (major adverse cardiac & CV events)
composite of
death, MI, emergency revascularisation or
stroke
Classification of Complications
Category Mechanism Coronary injury acute/threatened closure
no reflow phenomenon
perforation
retained equipment
arrhythmia
Non-coronary iatrogenic aortic dissection
Injury peripheral neovascular injury
embolisation (stroke/limb ischaemia)
nephropathy
radiation injury
Systemic event vasovagal reaction
anaphylaxis
haemorrhage
acute pulmonary oedema
sepsis

PCI Complications
Prevent & Manage
To reduce mortality & morbidity
Drs & Allied Staff
• knowledgeable
• discussion about patient & procedure
• have devices ready
• focus on patient during procedure
• willing to inform of any changes
hemodynamic, ECG, patient’s condition
angiographic abnormalities

If suspect tamponade, confirm with
echocardiogram.
Potential treatment
Perforation
• Long balloon inflation
• Reverse heparin
protamine sulphate 1 mg per 100 units heparin
• Persistent perforation
distal – coil embolisation, glue, fat tissue
mid - covered stent, sandwich stents
emergency surgery

Causes of Slow Flow?
Causes of Slow Flow?
1. Distal dissection
2. Spasm
3. Distal embolization
4. Poor distal run-off (loss of branches)
5. High LVEDP
6. Hypotension
7. Wire biasness

What Do You Do For the Aortic Dissection?
Thrombotic lesions?
52 yr old man with post-infarct angina

PCI 3rd April 2007
Aspirated with Export cath 7F
Balloon dilatation
3. Thrombus
PCI Cases: when do we stop?
1 week of sc enoxaparin 10th April ‘07
Continued with oral anticoagulation
Ischaemic test planned in the future
3rd April ‘07
Angiojet Thrombectomy Device
Bernoulli Principle
Where the velocity is the greatest,
the pressure is the lowest
Angiojet Thrombectomy Device
Iatrogenic Coronary Thrombosis
Avoiding Risk
keep equipment dwell time to a mininum
wipe all exteriorised equipment before
reintroduction
Flush all introducers & catheters regularly
Heparin before PCI
weight adjusted dose
(70 units/kg – check ACT every 30 min
100 units/kg – ACT after one hour)
Check ACT when time arrives

Radial artery damage - Perforation:
Incidence 0.1 – 1%
Tortuous and looping
Spasm
Anomalous anatomy
Hydrophilic wires
Catheters
Often a matter of feel
If in doubt:
Fluoroscopy &
take an angiogram!
Put in a long sheath
Complications

Conclusions
Can’t avoid complications!
Prevent & manage them well
• Select patient & lesion well.
• Anticipate problems & plan strategy well
• Good guiding catheter
• Good angiographic views
• Know your equipment well
• Have them available
• Keep the procedure as simple as possible
• Know your own limitations
• Know when to stop
• Learn from one’s own & other’s mistakes
You are part of the team!!
