Introduction: Acute coronary syndrome is a term used for any condition brought on by sudden, reduced blood flow to the heart. Acute coronary syndrome depends on the specific characteristics of each element of the triad of clinical presentation (including a history of coronary artery disease). Objectives: The main objective of the study is to analyze the in-hospital complications after Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) of culprit vessel for Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS). Materials and methods: This descriptive case series study was conducted at Punjab Institute of Cardiology, Lahore during September to December 2018. It was non-probability purposive sampling. All the baseline procedural and biochemical characteristics recorded. Frequency of males and females undergoing PCI of Culprit Vessel during this duration was calculated then these patients were evaluated for Post PCI Complications. Results: Males were more in number as compared to females. i.e 75 males (55.55%) and 60 females (44.44%). Out of these 110 patients (55 males and 55 females) were selected for this study. These patients were fulfilling the Inclusion and exclusion criteria. Baseline characteristics of the patients who underwent PCI are shown below in table 1. Mean age of the male patients was 49.8 ± 9.60 while that of female patients was 52.1± 8.91. Conclusion: It is the total obstruction of the artery usually at the site of access requiring surgical repair. Conclusion is defined as total obstruction of blood vessel usually due to the thrombus formation dissection or other mechanisms usually at the site of access of plaque pulse or Doppler signal and associated with sign and symptoms of an ischemic limb requiring surgical intervention. Key Words: Percutaneous Intervention, Culprit Vessel, Gender disparity, Vascular Complications.
