Of the 10 centers with the highest volume in New York State, Mount Sinai was the only one to have an overall RAMR significantly lower than the statewide rate for non-emergency cases.

"Our procedural outcomes data over the last several years support the statement that we have mastered the art of PCI. As a result, many patients who were considered too high-risk to receive care elsewhere are referred here. As we increasingly accept complex cases, our PCI complications continue to decline, which is a testament to the quality work this Cath Lab achieves," says Dr. Kini.

"I believe the Mount Sinai Cath Lab remains the top center for PCI for a few reasons. Primarily, we have an extremely talented group of interventionalists and supporting staff. Secondly, we strictly abide by protocols and standards of care, while embracing new technologies, techniques and innovations, and lastly, the compassion and genuine concern for our patients' health is the top priority for this lab," says Dr. Moreno.
