Safety of same-day discharge after percutaneous coronary intervention: what is the level of evidence?
نویسندگان
چکیده
We read with great interest the paper by Brayton et al. (1). This paper is nearly identical to our recent publication in JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions (2). It is interesting that 2 similar papers using the same data would be published in the JACC family of journals just a few months apart. Although Brayton and colleagues briefly acknowledge our paper in their discussion section, there are several aspects of their paper and claims regarding our study that deserve comment.

BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in a day-case setting might reduce logistic constraints on hospital resources, but data on safety are limited. We evaluated the safety and feasibility of same-day discharge after PCI.

BACKGROUND Same-day discharge after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) may be safe for some patients. Few data are available on patient-reported outcomes and preferences for same-day discharge after PCI. METHODS AND RESULTS Between March 2008 and March 2010, a total of 298 patients undergoing elective PCI via femoral access at 2 medical centers (Mount Sinai Hospital, New York, NY, and B...
متن کاملSame day discharge after elective percutaneous coronary intervention.
Same-day percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a reality with modern interventional equipment and pharmaceutical agents. Elective PCI is rarely an inpatient procedure and is now predominantly considered an outpatient procedure. Approaches to safely manage elective patients through same-day PCI have been well described in the literature and demonstrate no safety signal compared with overni...
