Comparison of procedural complications with versus without interventional cardiology fellows-in-training during contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention
2014, American Journal of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :Given the safety of PCI performed with ICFITs demonstrated in our analysis, we believe that permitting ICFITs to perform supervised PCI procedures at satellite hospitals would be a reasonable extension of ICFIT training, particularly if supervised by interventionalists accustomed to working with ICFITs at an academic tertiary care hospital. As annual PCI volume continues to decline in the United States16,17 and with significant proportions of PCI procedures being performed at satellite hospitals,9–12,14 relaxing the ICFIT restrictions would allow for greater PCI procedural volumes per trainee and improved case mix, as recommended for ICFIT training.18,19 Furthermore, this would provide ICFITs with the opportunity to participate in clinical decision making in the absence of surgical backup—a critical skill for the future generation of interventional cardiologists who will likely be performing a significant proportion of their PCI procedures at satellite hospitals.
