Complicating events, particularly bleeding events that occur post-procedurally in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) tend to be underestimated and under-recognized. A system that serves to track these complications can increase awareness and hence treatment and prevention. We performed this study to assess true rates of post-PCI complications at our institution, as well as the impact of using bivalirudin (Angiomax®, The Medicines Company, Parsippany, NJ) instead of heparin for anticoagulation during PCI.
