There is a paucity of data on the contemporary use of non-drug-eluting devices (balloon angioplasty or bare-metal stents) in contemporary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the United States. We utilized the Nationwide Readmissions Database to identify patients hospitalized to undergo PCI with non-drug-eluting devices from 2016 to 2019. The main outcome of interest was the trends in utilization over the study years. Among 1,870,262 PCI procedures, 127,810 (6.8%) were performed with non-drug-eluting devices; 72% of these were in the setting of acute myocardial infarction (MI). The use of non-drug-eluting devices decreased throughout the study period from 12.9% of all PCI in the first quarter of 2016 to 3.4% in the last quarter of 2019 (p
