Factors contributing to define high-risk PCI

Coronary artery disease Clinical features Haemodynamic aspects

  • Multivessel disease

  • Left main disease

  • Chronic total occlusions

  • Extended revascularization

  • No. of balloon/stent inflations

  • Use of additional devices (i.e. rotablator)

 Comorbidities and cardiological conditions reducing tolerance to myocardial ischaemia:
