Figure 6 Postrevascularization
Following revascularization with PCI or CABG in a more chronic (>3 months) setting, recurrence of symptoms or the presence of suspected incomplete revascularization were felt to be appropriate indications for RNI. For asymptomatic patients less than 2 years after a PCI, RNI was rated inappropriate. For asymptomatic patients at less than 5 years after CABG or those at greater than or equal to 2 years after PCI, RNI was rated uncertain. If CABG was performed more than 5 years ago, RNI is appropriate. *Assumes that additional revascularization is feasible.
