Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked coronary arteries. These arteries supply oxygen to the heart, and if they become blocked, a heart attack may occur. During PCI, a catheter is inserted into the heart through a small incision in the skin. A tiny balloon is then inflated inside the artery to open it, and a metal stent is placed to keep the artery open. PCI is a lifesaving procedure that can reduce chest pain, improve quality of life, and prevent death by restoring blood flow to the heart and preventing future heart attacks. It is an essential tool for treating cardiovascular disease and restoring health.
