It is reasonable that operators with acceptable vol- ume (>75 PCI procedures per year) perform elec- tive/urgent PCI at low-volume centers (200 to 400 PCI procedures per year) with on-site cardiac sur- gery.872 (Level of Evidence: C) 2. It is reasonable that low-volume operators (<75 PCI procedures per year) perform elective/urgent PCI at high-volume centers (>400 PCI procedures per year) with on-site cardiac surgery. Ideally, operators with an annual procedure volume of fewer than 75 procedures per year should only work at institutions with an activity level of more than 600 procedures per year. Operators who perform fewer than 75 procedures per year should develop a defined men- toring relationship with a highly experienced oper- ator who has an annual procedural volume of at least 150 procedures per year. (Level of Evidence: C) Class IIb 1. The benefit of primary PCI for STEMI patients eligible for fibrinolysis when performed by an oper- ator who performs fewer than 75 procedures per year (<11 PCIs for STEMI per year) is not well established. (Level of Evidence: C) Levine et al 2011 ACCF/AHA/SCAI PCI Guideline e619 Class III: NO BENEFIT 1. It is not recommended that elective/urgent PCI be performed by low-volume operators (<75 proce- dures per year) at low-volume centers (200 to 400 procedures per year) with or without on-site cardiac surgery. An institution with a volume of fewer than 200 procedures per year, unless in a region that is underserved because of geography, should carefully consider whether it should continue to offer this service.872 (Level of Evidence: C) Older observational evidence supported a volume-outcome relationship in PCI at both the institutional and operator level.873 However, this relationship is complicated and may be inconsistent across low-volume institutions or operators.
