As issued by the authors

  1. when a high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is planned, a multidisciplinary decision by interventional cardiologists, cardiac surgeons, anaesthetists and non-invasive physicians with expertise in heart failure management and intensive care should be agreed upon after careful consideration of the possible undesirable consequences of PCI, including futility, similar to the approach for structural interventions.
