Abstract
The efficacy and safety of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for coronary artery disease has been established, and approximately 250,000 PCI procedures are performed annually in Japan. However, various complications including life-threatening complications can occur during PCI. Although several bailout procedures have been proposed to address complications during PCI, it is critically important for operators to manage each complication in real catheter rooms with confidence even in emergent situations. Standard bailout methods including specific techniques should be clarified as algorithms and shared with inexperienced operators as well as experienced operators. The Task Force of the Japanese Society for Cardiovascular Intervention and Therapeutics (CVIT) has developed the expert consensus document on bailout algorithms for complications in PCI.
