Percutaneous coronary intervention after a surgeon says, "no way"

Samuel M Butman. Catheter Cardiovasc Interv. 2017 Jul.

Abstract

The rate of surgical turndowns (1.5-2.5%) in this report that went on to PCI is relatively consistent across centers. Unprotected left main intervention in patients turned down for surgery has high hospital mortality. With certain caveats, the HEART Team approach to these unique patients may be the answer.
