Overview

coronary intervention Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat blockages in the coronary arteries, which are the main blood vessels that supply blood and oxygen to the heart. PCI is a key tool used in the treatment of heart disease, such as coronary artery disease, and is performed by inserting a catheter into a blood vessel and advancing it to the site of the blockage. Once at the blockage, the physician performs a range of treatments such as balloon angioplasty and stenting, which help to restore blood flow to the heart muscle. PCI is beneficial as it reduces the risk of major cardiac events, such as heart attack, and can improve and extend the patients’ life.
