The Cardiovascular disease is leading the cause of mortality and morbidity and constantly increasingevery year for past decades. World wide 32 million people gets acute heart attack and 2.5 million deaths occur every year due to AMI. In Mongolia Cardiovascular disease is also leading the cause of mortality and morbidity. It is dramatically increasing every year, 479.4 per 10,000 population in 2012 was increased to 848.1 per 10,000 population in 2013. Dr.B.Jerardin, Prof.Z.Lkhagvasuren and his junior L.Jargalsaikhan jointly implanted first stent inMongolia in 2010. There is rapid development in interventional treatment skills since then. Since 2000 until 2014, total of 3791 coronary angioraphy, 1841 stent implantations was performed.This study has included the patients of last 5 years. Total of 898 patients who are treated with AMI during October 2010 to October 2014 at Third State Central Hospital were analyzed. 73.7% of the patients had left coronary artery disease and 26.3% had right coronary disease. Thisfinding was same with other local researchers study (Galtsog et al. 1987, D.Narantuya et al. 2001).59.4% of the occlusions were 75-99% stenosis, 23.5% had total occlusion. 62.9% of the LAD occlusionwere stenosis of over 75%. It demonstrated majority of the cases performed were high severe lesions.This also may be demonstrating that patients are receiving treatment in their late stage of the disease. Early stage complication such as mortality, restenosis was 3.5%, complication within following one month of after stent implantation was 9-13.1%. Overall mortality rate has decreased each year, 11.9% in 2010, 7.8% in 2012, 4.6% in 2013 relatively. General achievement is now 88.1%-95.4%, which is comparable to other countries.Implementation of coronary procedures in daily practice was one of the major achievements in thecardiovascular field in Mongolia. Patients from capital city are relatively been able to receive coronaryinterventional treatment within 12 hours of onset. However, patients arriving golden standard timingis not sufficient enough as well there are still major concerns for patients living in distant rural areas.
