Length of hospital stay after percutaneous coronary interventions.

Introduction And Aim: Post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) length of hospital stay (LOHS) is one of the key modifiers of hospital cost and quality assessment. Commencing 2000, the cardiovascular services at our institution engaged in a continuous quality improvement program to reduce post-PCI LOHS.

Methods: All PCI patients were screened for potential early discharge.
