Abstract
Day by day with the experiences and advancement in technology angioplasty has become more
refined with higher rate of success and lower rate of complications. In spite of these there remain
some of adverse outcomes following procedure. To minimize procedural complications and adversities
were looked for evaluation of high risk features. Percutaneous coronary intervention related mortality
is directly related to the episode of coronary artery occlusion and is associated with pronounced left
ventricular failure. The variables associated with increased mortality include type C lesion , advanced
age, female gender, diabetes, ST segment elevated myocardial infraction ,prior myocardial infraction,
multivessel disease, left main or equivalent coronary disease, a large area of myocardium at risk, preexisting
impairment of left ventricular or renal function, post- percutaneous coronary intervention
worsening of renal function, and collateral vessels supplying significant areas of myocardium that
originate distal to the segment to be dilated.
