AB  - Percutaneous coronary procedures performed in a day-case setting are intended to facilitate an optimised resource allocation and increase patient satisfaction without compromising procedural and long-term safety or efficacy. While an increasing number of centres have implemented a day-case approach, patient pathways and procedural aspects still lack standardisation, potentially leading to a large heterogeneity in practices. However, several centres and healthcare systems are still reluctant to adopt day-case diagnostic or therapeutic coronary procedures because of safety concerns, penalising reimbursement policies, or simple inertia. This clinical consensus statement summarises experience-based know-how and research-derived data on day-case coronary procedures with the objective of providing standardised practical guidance on patient selection, procedural considerations, and postprocedural management to facilitate wide-scale adoption of a day-case coronary programme. The document also provides clear advice on when such procedures must be converted into regular admissions to maximise patient safety.
