Gastrointestinal Bleeding After Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: Incidence, Risk Factors, and Outcomes
The incidence of GIB observed in this study aligns with previously reported rates. These findings highlight the importance of pre-PCI risk stratification for bleeding, especially in high-risk patients. Prophylactic measures, such as the use of gastric protective agents, should be considered to mitigate the risk of GIB in patients undergoing PCI.
