The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics and short-term prognosis of patients with STEMI treated by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).<br \/>   \r\n\r\n        <strong>Methods:<\/strong>                                                                                                    \r\n                                                                                                                                                    \r\nWe conducted a single-centre descriptive study using prospective data collection from September 2020 to July 2022, including all patients with STEMI PCI-treatment at H\u00f4pital Principal Dakar (HPD).\r\n<br \/>\r\n                \r\n                <strong>Results:<\/strong>                                                                                                    \r\nOut of 1146 patients admitted to HPD's cardiology department, 156 (13.61%) had STEMI. Of whom 58.97% underwent PCI. The mean age of STEMI patients with PCI was 60 years, and 78.26% were male. 90.2% consulted within 12 hours, with an average time of 3.26 \u00b1 3 hours. Almost all patients (98.9%) were in Killip class II. 84.8% had a qualifying ECG within the first 12 hours, with a mean of 3.95 \u00b1 2.95 hours. Thrombolysis was performed in 10.86%. The radial approach was used in 89% of cases, and primary PCI was performed in 71.73% of patients. A drug- eluting stent was exclusively implanted in 95.65% of cases. PCI was successful in 98.91% of patients. Three non-fatal periprocedural complications were noted. The in-hospital mortality rate was 4.34%.\r\n<br \/>\r\n                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        \r\n                                                                                                                                                \r\n        <strong>Conclusion:<\/strong>                                                                                                    \r\n                                                                                                                                                    \r\nAt HPD, the prognosis of STEMI has been improved by coronary angioplasty, albeit with delays in management still to be perfected.\r\n<br \/>    \r\n                                                                                                        \r\n\r\n                                                                                                                                                \r\n            <\/div>                                                                                                                            \r\n        <\/div>                                                                                                                                    \r\n                                                                                                                                        \r\n                                                                                                                                                \r\n        <div id=\"keywords\">                                                                                                                    \r\n                                                                                                                                            \r\n            <strong>Keywords:<\/strong>                                                                                                        \r\n                                                                                                                                            \r\n            <strong>STEMI, PCI, H\u00f4pital Principal Dakar<\/strong>                                                                                                                                                                                                                    \r\n                                                                                                                                                \r\n        <\/div>                                                                                                                                    \r\n                                                                                                                                                \r\n    <div id=\"publish-info\">                                                                                                                    \r\n                                                                                                                                \r\n    <strong>Submitted:<\/strong> May 9, 2025;
