Value of the american college of cardiology/american heart association stenosis morphology classification for coronary interventions in the late 1990s

The goal of this study was to reassess the accuracy of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) stenosis morphology classification for predicting coronary intervention success and complications in the era of new devices.

Description
Summary:The goal of this study was to reassess the accuracy of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) stenosis morphology classification for predicting coronary intervention success and complications in the era of new devices. Previous studies performed in the early part of this decade for percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease found that these criteria were predictive of success rates but not complication rates. Data for 957 consecutive coronary interventions in 1,404 lesions from June 1994 to October 1996 were prospectively classified according to ACC/AHA guidelines and entered into a database. Ninety-one and 9 10 of coronary interventions were successful, defined as
