During the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic, the British Cardiovascular Society/British Cardiovascular Intervention Society and the British Heart Rhythm Society recommended to postpone non-urgent elective work and that primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) should remain the treatment of choice for patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We sought to determine the impact of COVID-19 on the primary PCI service within the United Kingdom (UK). A survey of 43 UK primary PCI centres was performed and a significant reduction in the number of cath labs open was found (pre-COVID 3.6±1.8 . post-COVID 2.1±0.8; p<0.001) with only 64% of cath labs remained open during the COVID-19 pandemic. Primary PCI remained first-line treatment for STEMI in all centres surveyed.
在冠状病毒病（COVID-19）大流行期间，英国心血管学会/英国心血管介入学会以及英国心律学会建议推迟非紧急择期手术，并指出对于ST段抬高型心肌梗死（STEMI）患者，直接经皮冠状动脉介入治疗（PCI）仍应作为首选治疗方法。我们试图确定COVID-19对英国主要PCI服务的影响。对英国43个主要PCI中心进行了一项调查，发现开放的导管实验室数量显著减少（COVID-19之前为3.6±1.8，之后为2.1±0.8；p<0.001），在COVID-19大流行期间只有64%的导管实验室仍在开放。在所有接受调查的中心，直接PCI仍然是STEMI的一线治疗方法。
