Do two operators improve outcomes in left main percutaneous coronary intervention? Insights from the ORPKI Registry.

Background: Significant left main coronary artery (LMCA) disease is prevalent in 7% of patients undergoing angiography. Limited data exists on the impact of double scrubbing in LMCA PCI. We sought to assess periprocedural outcomes in two-operator LMCA percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Operator-patient sex discordance and periprocedural outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (from the ORPKI Polish National Registry).

Introduction: A recent study suggested that sex discordance between surgeons and patients negatively affects the outcomes of patients undergoing common surgical procedures.

Aim: We sought to assess whether such an impact exists for periprocedural outcomes of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

Material And Methods: From 2014 to 2020, data on 581,744 patients undergoing single-stage coronary angiography and PCI from 154 centers were collected.
