Aim: to evaluate the prevalence and characteristics of percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed in the Ural federal district (in particular in Tyumen, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk regions) in 2010 and to assess the efficiency of PCI in CAD in the real clinical practice by the data of Tyumen Cardiology Center (TCC). There is different supply of PCI in the Ural federal district: 124.8 in 1 million inhabitants in the Chelyabinsk region, 438.1 PCI in the Sverdlovsk region, and 720.4 PCI in the Tyumen region. There were no PCI in the Kurgan region up to date. The efficacy of PCI in patients with CAD was proven by the improvement of long-term results and patients quality of life especially if regular medical check-ups are performed. Our data show that PCI should be used more frequently in the real clinical practice in all Russian regions, and in the certain regions of the Ural federal district as well.
