Total and Cause-Specific Mortality After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Observations From the Alberta Provincial Project for Outcome Assessment in Coronary Heart Disease Registry.

In this population-based study, we found all-cause mortality at 30 days, 1 year, and 2 years after PCI increased over time. Cardiac causes of death dominate in the short-term after PCI; however, noncardiac cause becomes a major driver of mortality in the long-term.
