Description
Summary:Aim Explain how research can advance the state-ofthe- practice in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods and results Identifying the success factors of PCI; identifying decision- making performance (power of judgement) as the factor that could be advanced faster than is currently the case; explaining why and how such advancement needs a different research approach than those currently pursued in medical research; presenting initial results of this approach in the form of a set of basic concepts (pivoting around risk) that are useful for describing the decision-making process during a PCI. Conclusion Building a terminology (ontology) of PCI decision-making concepts and then eliciting expert knowledge about the decision-making process itself are promising ways of advancing the teachability of PCI and hence the state-of-thepractice.
