Implication

Recurrent chest pain drives most 30-day post-PCI readmissions; hypothesis-generating for symptom-focused strategies to limit unnecessary testing.

Structured PICO

P
Population
893 patients readmitted within 30 days of discharge after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) between 2007 and 2011 at 2 hospitals, out of a total cohort of 9,081 patients alive at discharge.
O
Outcome
Causes of readmission within 30 days after PCI

30-day readmissions after PCI are frequently driven by recurrent chest pain rather than procedural complications, often resulting in diagnostic testing but rarely indicating myocardial infarction or requiring target lesion revascularization.
