Arteries are blood vessels that supply oxygen-rich blood throughout the body. When a fatty or waxy substance builds up within the blood vessels, it can have severe health implications, such as a heart attack. An individual with a heart attack or chest pain (angina) might need emergency PCI if they are not responding to other treatment options.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, formerly known as Coronary Angioplasty, is a procedure to clear blocked arteries. The procedure involves using a small balloon to reopen the blocked artery. A medicated or non-medicated stent might be placed in the re-opened artery to preserve its patency.
Emergency Percutaneous Coronary Intervention PCI is a safe procedure that improves your symptoms associated with heart blockage and has minimal risks. The treatment is minimally invasive and requires a shorter recovery time. However, you must take precautions to reduce the risk of future blocks.
