Multicenter Study Comparative Study
All-cause readmission and repeat revascularization after percutaneous coronary intervention.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is one of the most frequently performed cardiac interventions. However, there is limited data regarding the cause of recurrent hospitalization and repeat revascularization. The aim of this study was to assess re-hospitalization and repeat revascularization within 30 days of the initial hospitalization for PCI, using data from Opolskie Voivodeship, National Health Fund (NHF) Registry. ⋯ Almost one in seven PCI patients requires readmission within 30 days of hospital discharge. Approximately 50% of all readmitted PCI patients resulted in a repeat revascularization procedure. PCI patients who were readmitted within 30 days of an index PCI procedure had a significantly higher all-cause 30-day mortality rate.
