Percutaneous coronary intervention ( PCI ) and the coronary artery bypass grafting surgery ( CABG ) are well accepted treatments for coronary artery disease. Many patients and their spouses experience increased level of stress, anxiety and depression before and after going under the procedure. One hundred and ninety‐six cardiac patients who were candidate for CABG or PCI procedures and their spouses were asked to complete H ospital A nxiety and D epression S cale and G eneral H ealth Q uestionnaire‐12 before and 1 month after procedures. Anxiety, depression and stress level in patients and their spouses going under the procedures significantly reduced over time. Scores of anxiety, depression and stress in patients and their spouses were correlated. There was no difference in the level of anxiety, depression and stress between CABG and PCI groups before to after procedures. We suggest providing information about the procedures to both patients and their spouses to deal better with their own psychological state.
