Background : Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) has been and continues to be standard treatment in patients with
coronary artery disease. The data for demographic and outcomes in Thailand are limited.
Objective : To study data and characteristics relating to patients, the procedure, and outcomes of percutaneous coronary
intervention in the Thai population.
Material and Method: The Thai Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Registry (TPCIR) was established in 2006, consisting
of 27 hospitals in Thailand that perform the PCI procedure. All patients who underwent PCI between May 2006 and October
2006 in participating hospitals were asked to participate in this registry. Data was recorded in case record form and then
entered into the web-based registry. Key variables include demographic data, risk factors, indications for PCI, outcomes,
and complications.
Results : Four thousand one hundred fifty six patients were enrolled; 69.2% were male. Average age of PCI patients was
62.7 years. Indications for PCI were ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (14%), Non-ST segment elevation acute
coronary syndrome (37.3%), and stable coronary artery disease (48.7%). PCI was successfully performed in 92.5% of
lesions or 89.6% of cases with in-hospital complications reported in 12% of cases.
Conclusion : This was the first nationwide multi-center study of PCI in Thailand. The overall PCI procedure success rate
was 92.5%.
