Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention is a revascularisation strategy for coronary heart disease. These procedures are performed in emergent, planned or rescue situations. Over recent decades, technological advances, adjuvant therapies and new indications for stenting have increased the uptake of percutaneous coronary interventions. Basis of evidences for percutaneous coronary interventions are randomized controlled trials and meta-analysis. Evidence-based practices make scientized and professionalized the diagnosis, treatment and care processes, by strengthening the link between decision making and information. The evidence-based nursing practices enable the development of nursing science and the use of new policies and procedures. Before, during and after percutaneous coronary interventions; evidence based care recommendations should be applied, stated in the guidelines of European Society of Cardiology (ESC), Australian College of Critical Care Nurses (ACCCN), randomized controlled trials and meta-analyzes.
