AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine the outcomes of primary percutaneous coronary 
      intervention (PCI) in a tertiary care cardiac centre. METHODS: Medical records of 
      104 consecutive patients presented in our hospital between January 2006 to 
      December 2007 with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and treated 
      with primary PCI as a mode of reperfusion were reviewed. The primary end point 
      was in hospital mortality and secondary end points were 30 day mortality, 
      myocardial infarction, recurrent angina and congestive cardiac failure, from 
      discharge to one month follow up. RESULTS: The procedural success was 97%. Six 
      (5.8%) patients died during hospital stay including one on table death. Out of 
      six patients who died, five (83.3%) had cardiogenic shock. No mortality was 
      observed in the 30 days follow up from discharge while other complications like 
      myocardial infarction, recurrent angina and congestive cardiac failure were 1%, 
      1% and 5% respectively. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings suggest that favourable 
      outcomes, matching the international data can be achieved in our patients with 
      primary PCI in the management of life threatening illness like STEMI despite all 
      the limitations. Primary PCI as a preferred method of reperfusion strategy fieeds 
      to be practiced more often in our part of the world.
