AB  - OBJECTIVE: To determine clinical indications and one month outcome of 
      Percutaneous Coronary Interventions (PCI) in a tertiary care centre. METHODS: We 
      prospectively conducted a descriptive study on 259 symptomatic coronary artery 
      disease patients, who underwent primary, rescue or elective PCI with stent 
      deployment at the Tabba Heart Institute, from May 2005 to September 2006. The 
      primary objective of the study was to identify--stable angina, unstable angina, 
      Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI), ST elevation myocardial 
      infarction (STEMI), congestive heart failure (CHF) and cardiogenic shock) and 
      thirty days outcome of PCI in terms of mortality, peri-procedural myocardial 
      infarction, re-infarction and stent thrombosis. This was done according to the 
      standard guidelines of Canadian Cardiovascular Society and New York Heart 
      Association classification. The patients were followed for one month and 
      complications were noted. RESULTS: The mean age of sample was 54.9 +/- 10.6 
      years. The indications were stable angina (32.4%), unstable angina (13.9%), 
      NSTEMI (18.9%), STEMI (35.1%), CHF (5.4%) and cardiogenic shock (1.5%). The 
      outcome was mortality (2.7%), peri-procedure MI (0.4%), re-infarction (3.08%), 
      cardiogenic shock (1.5%) and stent thrombosis (4.3%). CONCLUSION: Our clinical 
      indications and outcome are comparable with international findings. Stable angina 
      was a major indication and stent thrombosis was the major complication observed, 
      particularly after primary percutaneous intervention for STEMI.
