%X Objective: To identify the profile of patients and the most common complications in individuals undergoing
percutaneous coronary intervention. Methods: This is a descriptive cross-sectional study. It was performed with 200
patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention in a hospital in southern Brazil. Data were collected from
patients' electronic medical records, from June to September 2018, using an instrument developed by the researchers.
Results: The average age was 65.2 years old. There was a male prevalence (142 cases - 71%). It was identified that
53 (26.5%) patients had previously undergone percutaneous coronary intervention, 162 (81%) had a diagnosis of
arterial hypertension and 62 (31%) had diabetes mellitus. There were 40 cases (20%) of complications as a result of
the procedure, and the main ones were the hematoma at the puncture site (42.5%), bleeding after removal of the
introducer (12.5%), and decreased renal function (20%). Conclusion: the patient profile was composed of elderly
men with previous chronic diseases. The main complications resulting from the coronary intervention were: hematoma
at the puncture site and decreased renal function. Care protocols are needed to guide care to the patient after the
intervention to reduce the complications
