Stenting has dramatically increased the safety of PCI. Data from 23,087 Mayo Clinic patients who had a PCI from 1979 to 2003 was analyzed, and it was found that though there has been an increase in high-risk patients undergoing PCI, there has been a decrease in the incidence of patients requiring emergency CABG in the current stent era (2000-2003, n= 6,577). The in-patient mortality rate for those requiring emergency CABG remains unchanged.
