Results The volume of bleeding at the site of puncture was less in experimental group than in control group（P＜0.05）. Conclusion Observation of bleeding according to the pre-designed"table of bleeding at the site of puncture in old patient after PCI"and established nursing measures can effectively prevent excess hemorrhage and accidents.
