DO YOU KNOW HOW TRAIN BRAKES WORK?
FAIL-SAFE SYSTEMSA fail-safe or fail-secure device is one that, in the event of failure, responds in a way that will cause no harm, or at least a minimum of harm, to other devices or danger to personnel.Air brakes on railway trains are held in the "off" position by air pressure in the brake system. Should a brake line split, or a carriage become de-coupled, the air pressure will be lost and the brakes applied.

KEY ASSUMPTION
• Coronary angiography is not synonimous with PCI
• Risk-benefit balance of angio is much higher than that of PCI
• However, alternative to angio are available (e.g. imaging-based stress testing, CT coronary angiography)

TAKE HOME MESSAGES• In the current evidence and experience context,
it is safer to focus only on which patients with NSTEMI should not be offered PCI rather than the other way round
• Coronary angiography and PCI should also be distinguished, as they have different scopes and safety profiles
• Several absolute and relative contraindications to PCI in NSTEMI can be envisioned, requiring case by case decision-making
