Same-day discharge after large-bore access in percutaneous coronary intervention of chronic total coronary occlusions

EuroInterventionPublished Prospective registry study

Authors' conclusion

Same-day discharge can be achieved in the majority of patients undergoing CTO PCI with large-bore (≥7 Fr) access. Similar low hospital readmission and MACE rates between SDD and non-SDD patients at 30 days demonstrate the feasibility and safety of SDD.

Study context
