REVASCULARISATION

A Revascularisation sub-group of the Network was established early on to take forward work in relation to this area. To inform their work plan, the Network commissioned an initial piece of work to review the burden of coronary heart disease and revascularisation rates across the Network. <CLICK HERE> to access a copy of the report.

Following this assessment, the Revascularisation group focused on delivering two main strands of work a) the development of a sector wide model for the delivery of a Primary Angioplasty service to all NW London residents and b) the reduction in delays for in-patient DGH transfers requiring admission for Angiography +/- Angioplasty, Electrophysiology, Device implants or Surgery.

A. Primary Angioplasty

The agreed model for delivery of Primary Angioplasty focused on St Mary's and Hammersmith Hospitals providing a service for residents of inner NW London with residents from outer NW London being served by Harefield Hospital. A stepwise approach was taken to rolling out the service such that by October 2005 all NW London residents had access to a 24 hours a day, 7 days per week Primary Angioplasty service, replacing thrombolysis as the dominant form of treatment for STEMI.

NW London was also selected by the DH as one of the 8 national pilots to assess feasibility of rolling out such a service across the country.
