Coronary artery disease, a cardiovascular disease in which there is obstruction of blood flow in the myocardial vessels, causes a large number of deaths in Brazil every year. Myocardial revascularization surgery, associated with antiplatelet, lipid-lowering, and RAAS blocker medications, is the best option for treating and preventing new cases of vascular flow obstruction, thus allowing the restoration of ventricular function, reduction of angina and prevention of acute myocardial infarction. Thus, it has clinical and surgical importance, as it allows the treatment of multiple obstructions and improves patient survival.,
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the most frequently used revascularization procedure in patients with coronary disease and is performed both electively and in acute situations. Unplanned rehospitalizations can be considered an adverse outcome for patients and may be related to complications of the PCI procedure or hospital treatment. Therefore, they are often used as an indicator of the quality of care provided. It is estimated that 1 in 7 patients undergoing PCI are readmitted within 30 days.
