| Abstract: |
Background: With the rising burden of coronary artery disease (CAD) in India, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using multiple stents has become increasingly common in complex cases. However, data on outcomes for patients receiving ≥3 stents remain limited. Objective: To evaluate the Clinico-demographic and angiographic profile and assess shortterm procedural outcomes in patients undergoing PCI with three or more coronary stents. Methods: A mixed-design cohort study was conducted at a tertiary center including 134 patients undergoing PCI with ≥3 stents. Data on demographics, clinical presentation, lesion characteristics, and procedural outcomes were analyzed. Results: Of 134 patients, 74% were male. Most were between 41–70 years (77%). TVD (46%) was the most common angiographic pattern. Type B (43%) and Type A (37%) lesions predominated. In-hospital complications were negligible; at 3 months, mortality was 1.49%, and angina occurred in 8.96%. Conclusion: PCI with ≥3 stents is safe and effective with favourable short-term outcomes in complex CAD. Long-term follow-up is warranted for definitive conclusions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
