Complex Coronary Disease
Including multi-vessel or heavily calcified coronary conditions.
Recurrent Stent Issues
Cases of in-stent restenosis or in-stent chronic total occlusion.
Post-Bypass Angina
Angina following coronary artery bypass graft surgery, especially with complex native vessel disease.
High Surgical Risk
Patients deemed high surgical risk or those who have been turned down for surgery.
Diagnostic Uncertainty
Where specialist assessment may help clarify symptoms and next steps.
Second Opinions
Review of prior angiograms and reports when other options have been exhausted.

For GPs: what helps us help your patient
- Refer for: chronic total occlusion, in-stent restenosis or stent under-expansion, heavily calcified disease, left main or multivessel disease, angina despite optimal therapy, or patients declined for CABG.
- Second opinions: send the angiogram disc or a PACS link and prior reports with the referral.
- Include: the question to answer, symptom burden, current anti-anginal and antithrombotic therapy (with DAPT start date), anticoagulant and dose, eGFR, Hb, HbA1c, lipids, ECG, echo/LVEF, CTCA/stress/angiogram reports, prior CABG note, contrast allergy and interpreter needs.
- Antiplatelets: every letter will state the antiplatelet plan and stop dates; please do not stop antiplatelet therapy early without discussion.
- Secure messaging (Healthlink) is preferred over unencrypted email for clinical information.
