This article describes a nurse's experience in an AMI patient, admitted to the intensive care unit after receiving percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) treatment. Information was collected through observation, listening, interviews and inspection of medical records. The patient's health problems were assessed according to the Gorden's model. The patient had various health problems: ineffective tissue perfusion, knowledge deficit and anxiety. I used the nursing knowledge and skills to observe the disease's processes closely and also provided post-PTCA care and appropriate education. I would like to share my experience with my coworkers when taking care of similar cases.
