The new software package is intended to assist the physician in imaging the coronaries during percutaneous coronary interventions. This study investigates the amount of contrast used during percutaneous coronary interventions with the aid of the new software package. The results of the study will be compared with control group data (before the new software package was installed or after it was removed) to define a possible contrast reduction.

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention according to standard of care
Columbia University Medical Center/NYPH
New York, New York, United States
Amount [mL] of Contrast Used for Completion of the Coronary Intervention
Phase 2 not initiated Only phase 1 data was collected
Time frame: Amount of contrast [mL] will be determined once, at the end of the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. There is no patient follow-up.
Cumulative Dose Area Product (DAP) of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
No data gathered for the primary outcome. Phase 2 not initiated Only phase 1 data was collected
Time frame: DAP [mGycm^2] will be determined once, at the end of the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. There is no patient follow-up.
Cumulative Air-Kerma (AK) of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
No data gathered for the primary outcome. Phase 2 not initiated Only phase 1 data was collected
Time frame: AK [mGy] will be determined once, at the end of the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. There is no patient follow-up.
Total Fluoroscopy Time of Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
No data gathered for the primary outcome. Phase 2 not initiated Only phase 1 data was collected
Time frame: Fluoroscopy time [minutes] will be determined once, at the end of the Percutaneous Coronary Intervention. There is no patient follow-up.
Procedure Efficiency
The endpoint is procedural timing: * time from start of procedure (wire introduced into the coronary) * end of procedure (start of vascular closure) * time until wire placed in distal coronary bed for purpose of intervention * time of first stent placement
Time frame: Patients will be followed from start of interventional procedure (vascular access obtained) until end of the procedure (vascular closure), ranging between 30 minutes and a few hours.
