(A) Trends in hospital admissions for coronary catheterization and PCI (Ptrend< .001); (B) Trends in the proportion of PCI procedures for stable CAD (Ptrend< .001), UA (Ptrend< .001), NSTEMI (Ptrend< .001) and STEMI (Ptrend= .004) among all the PCI procedures; (C) Trends in the proportion of primary PCI (Ptrend= .07), PCI after fibrinolytic therapy (Ptrend< .001) and late reperfusion a(Ptrend<.001) among all the PCI procedures for patients with STEMI. CAD: coronary artery disease; NSTEMI: non ST- segment elevation myocardial infarction; PCI: percutaneous coronary intervention; STEMI: ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction; UA: unstable angina. a For patients who didn’t receive fibrinolytic therapy or primary PCI during the same admission.
