Abstract
Percutaneous coronary intervention is a common procedure requiring expert nursing care delivered within an interdisci-plinary team. One of the most common treatments for CAD is percutaneous coronary intervention.

Design: A quasi-experimental design.
Setting: In catheterization and coronary care units.
Subjects: A convenience sample of all adult educable and mentally competent male and female patients aged from (18- 60 years old) who had undergone a non-emergency c percu-taneous coronary intervention (PCI) through femoral artery during a period from July 2010 to June 2011 were eligible for inclusion in the sample.
Tools: Four tools were utilized to collect data pertinent to the study.
Tool I: Assessment of patients after femoral sheath removal and angioplasty related data.
Tool II: Pre/post knowledge assessmentsheet. Tool III: Pre/postobservation check list sheet. Tool IV: Satisfaction assessment sheet.
Methods: Pretestknowledge sheet filled out by the patient and observation checklist sheet was checked by the researcher for both groups, the teaching protocol has been implemented for patient in terms of session, each session ranged from 6- 10 patients for theoretical and practical contents, thenimme-diately post knowledge sheet testfilled out by the patient and observation checklist sheet was checked by the researcher for both groups.
Results: Finding of the present study revealed thatsignif-icant improvement of all parameters with values of less than p=0.001 in response to give information among the two groups.
Conclusion: Educating patients before percutaneous coronary intervention can effectively improve level of knowl-edge and satisfaction.
