Implication

Postprocedural bleeding warrants ongoing prevention focus in PCI; leaves open whether mitigation reduces mortality.

Key Points

To evaluate the relationship between postprocedural bleeding events and in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Analyzed clinical outcomes from a large patient registry undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Assessed the incidence of postprocedural bleeding events and calculated their association with in-hospital mortality.
Postprocedural bleeding events were significantly associated with an elevated risk of in-hospital mortality.
An estimated 12.1% of in-hospital deaths following PCI were directly attributable to bleeding complications.
