Cardiac catheterization is an integral part of cardiac evaluation and brings together two disciplines: cardiac catheterization (the evaluation of cardiac function) and angiography (X-ray demonstration of cardiac anatomy). Cardiac catheterization includes various therapeutic interventions, including but not limited to: percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), thrombolysis of coronary clots in evolving myocardial infarctions, electrical ablation of abnormal conduction pathways, and closure of patent ductus arteriosus in infants.
Any facility performing diagnostic cardiac catheterizations without open-heart surgery capability must maintain formal referral agreements with a nearby facility to provide emergency cardiac services, including open-heart surgery. Such a facility must also delineate the steps it will take to ensure that high-risk patients are not catheterized in the facility. Additionally, a facility without open-heart surgery capability must document that more complex procedures, except for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) as provided herein, are not performed in the facility. Such procedures include, but are not limited to: transseptal puncture, transthoracic left ventricular puncture, myocardial biopsy, trans catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), and left atrial occlusion devices.
Section 41-7-191(1)(d), Mississippi Code 1972, as amended, requires Certificate of Need review for the establishment and/or offering of cardiac catheterization services if the proposed provider has not offered such services on a regular basis within twelve (12) months prior to the time the services would be offered. Table 5-8 presents the utilization of cardiac catheterization services in Fiscal Years 2019 and 2020.
