Abstract
In comparison with the international scenario, in Italy the penetration of several important scientific and technological innovations in the field of cardiovascular intervention appears to be inadequate both in terms of number of patients treated with respect to the actual need, and inhomogeneity between the different geographical areas of the country. One of the main institutional objectives of the Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (SICI-GISE) is to develop a roadmap to guarantee homogeneous access throughout the whole national territory to treatments that are recommended by the major international guidelines. The present document focuses on four main areas of cardiovascular intervention: (i) transcatheter treatment of aortic valve stenosis, (ii) percutaneous mitral valve repair, (iii) prevention of cardioembolic stroke through percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion in patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation, (iv) optimization of coronary revascularization with the aid of the functional study of coronary lesions. The purpose of this document is to describe the clinical profile and the economic impact of the aforementioned methods, the current clinical, organizational and management barriers to treatment access in the national territory and the possible solutions for overcoming the aforementioned barriers.
