Background: Some hospital based studies showed that CAD is a major cause of mortality andrnmorbidity and the incidence of CAD is increasing in middle and low income countries likernEthiopia even though there is no country wide study done. rnObjective: The purpose of this study is to describe the coronary angiography findings andrnoutcomes of PCI in TASH.rnMethodology: A retrospective cross sectional study was conducted on coronary angiographyrnfindings and outcomes of PCI at TASH using structured questionnaire from January 1/ 2017 tornDecember 1 / 2020. Datas were analyzed and interpreted using SPSS version 26 software.rnResult: Coronary angiography was done for 149 patients, of which, 124 (83.2%) patients werernmales and 25 (16.8%) patients were females with the age range of 24 to 88 years. The medianrnage was 52 years with mean ages of 53.2+ 12.46, the most frequent age stratum being 45 to 55rnyears. ACS was the clinical diagnosis in 68 (45.6 %) of patients, of which 51 patients (34.2% ofrnthe total) had STEMI. With catheterization, 108 (72.5%) patients had evidence of CAD, ofrnwhich, 41 (37.9%) patients had multivessel disease. PCI was done for 60 (40.2%) patients andrnTIMI III was achieved. The in hospital mortality was 0.67%. In a bivariate analysis, Diabetesrnwas associated with multi-vessel disease (P=0.016), (COR 3.04 ) 95% CI(1.23-7.51).rnConclusion: CAD in Ethiopia occurs early in lfe mainly involving LAD and is associated withrnadverse consequences.
