34. Difficulties
•Logistics, regulations of the payer
•Penetration of PCI among ACS patients in critical condition (shock,
pulmonary oedema, resuscitated SCD)
•Time delays (both related to patient and medical services)
•Uncontrolled growth of the number of cathlabs leading to reduction in
procedure volumes per centre
•Relative shortage of operators (it takes more time to have certified
operators than to open another cathlab)
•Lack of strict quality control (to be implemented shortly under the auspices
of Working Group on Cardiovascular Interventions of the Polish Cardiac
Society)
35. Advantages
•Easy access to PCI in ACS throughout whole country, 24/24, 7/7
•High penetration (more 50% of ACS pts treated invasively, in particular ¾
of STEMI pts)
•Growing number of cathlabs, also outside large cities, makes timely access
to PCI in ACS more likely (no hard data on that as yet)
•Excellent short- and long-term results
•A story of success!
