Abstract
This retrospective, observational study examined 327 STEMI patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention with stenting in a large Central Pennsylvania hospital system. Patients were placed in an early discharge category (≤ 2 nights) or traditional discharge category (> 2 nights). These categories were further broken down into male and female groups. Adverse events within thirty-days of discharge (mortality and/or readmission) were evaluated to determine if common themes existed. Only eighteen patients experienced an adverse event during the two-year study timeframe.
