We present the cumulative percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) data of all comers (stable angina and acute coronary syndromes [ACS]) who presented to Hadi Clinic between January 2018 and December 2020. A total of 567 patients underwent coronary catheterisation for the three-year period between January 2018 and December 2020.

Myocardial infarction (MI) with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) covers an expanding group of patients over recent years. Previous studies showed considerable risks of outcomes in this group. In this study, we aimed to investigate the long-term outcomes in very young patients with MINOCA.
