11 Total number of elective and urgent PCIs

12 It will represent the ratio between the total number of implanted stents and the total number of patients undergoing PCI

13 Number of peripheral angioplasty (lower and upper limbs artery, not including carotid arteries)

14 Interventions in cardiac structural diseases: percutaneous closures of DSA, DSV, PFO, arterial duct, balloon valvulotomies, left atrial appendage closure (PCI - percutaneous coronary intervention, STEMI - ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, DES – drug eluting stent, BVS - bioresorbable vascular scaffold, FFR - fractional flow reserve, IFR - instantaneous wave-free ratio, IVUS – intravascular ultrasound, OCT - optical coherence tomography, PTA - percutaneous transluminal angioplasty, TAVI - transcatheter aortic valve implantation, UR – unreported or data not available)

Figure 1

Total number of PCIs in 2022 in all interventional centers of Romania (PCI - percutaneous coronary intervention).

Figure 2

Total number of percutaneous coronary interventions from 2014 to 2022 in Romania.

Figure 3

Total number of primary PCIs in STEMI patients from 2015 to 2022 in interventional centers of Romania (PCI - percutaneous coronary intervention, STEMI - ST segment elevation myocardial infarction).

Figure 4

Total number of peripheral angioplasties from 2014 to 2022 in Romania (only in interventional cardiology centers).

Figure 5.

Total number of TAVI and interventions in SHDs performed from 2017 to 2022 in Romania (TAVI - transcatheter aortic valve implantation, SHDs – structural heart diseases)
