"Identifying Information: Name","Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Rate"
"Identifying Information: Short/Other Names","PCI Rate"
"Identifying Information: Description","This indicator measures the age-standardized rate of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs) performed on patients in acute care hospitals, same-day surgery facilities or catheterization laboratories, per 100,000 population age 18 and older.For further details, please see the General Methodology Notes (PDF)."
"Background, Interpretation and Benchmarks: Rationale","In many cases, PCI serves as a non-surgical alternative to coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery and is undertaken for the purpose of opening obstructed coronary arteries. While PCI encompasses several techniques, angioplasty is the procedure most frequently provided.The choice of revascularization mode (PCI or CABG) depends on numerous factors, including physician preferences, availability of services and referral patterns, as well as differences in population health."

"Quality Statement: Caveats and Limitations","Rates for Quebec are not available due to differences in data collection.Some residents in New Brunswick's Zone 4 and Zone 5 receive cardiac procedures in Quebec under a referral agreement between the 2 provinces. Due to differences in data collection in Quebec, data for New Brunswick residents undergoing PCI in Quebec is not available; thus the rates for these 2 regions are suppressed."
"Quality Statement: Trending Issues","Not applicable"
"Quality Statement: Comments","PCI can be performed in designated cardiac centres only; therefore, procedures reported by facilities without on-site PCI services were excluded from the indicator calculation."
