Primary Coronary Angioplasty
Treatment in Ameerpet, Hyderabad

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a treatment to open a blocked artery. Arteries are the blood vessels that carry oxygen-rich blood through your body. You may need a PCI if you have a buildup of a fatty, waxy substance (plaque) in your arteries. Or you may have a PCI to clear blockages after a heart attack. Another name for a PCI is coronary angioplasty.

A percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a minimally invasive procedure to open blocked coronary (heart) arteries. An older name for PCI is coronary angioplasty with stenting or angioplasty for short.

Usually, your interventional cardiologist then places a small, permanent tube (stent) to keep the artery open long term. The stent usually contains medication that releases directly into your artery (drug-eluting stent) to reduce the risk of re-narrowing within the stent.
