Temporal Trends in Coronary Angiography and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Abstract: Veterans undergoing invasive coronary procedures have had increasing medical complexity over time, without attendant increases in mortality among those receiving interventions. As the Department of Veterans Affairs moves toward a mix of integrated and community-based care, it will be important to account for these demographic shifts so that quality can be maintained.

“…Our findings regarding the beginning of the last decade are broadly consistent with data from the United States Veterans Affairs Healthcare System, where up to 48.5% of CAGs were ‘negative’ in 2007–2010 [ 43 ], but the temporal evolution in the US is unknown at present. Interestingly, in the US the numbers of CAGs appear constant over time (with CAG patients, similar to our results, getting older) [ 44 ] while rates of coronary revascularization have seen a significant decline in the last decade [ 45 ].…”

“…Furthermore, since 1998, CABG rates in United States have been declining while PCI rates remain constant 15,16 . Paralleling the change in revascularization approach, patients undergoing PCI are now progressively older with increasing rates of cerebrovascular disease, diabetes, heart failure and renal failure 17 . With an aging population, increased complexity of CAD, escalating number of comorbidities, and increasing number of PCIs performed in patients with multivessel CAD, understanding peri‐procedural risk profile is necessary for improved PCI outcomes 1,2 …”
