Angioplasty (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention – PCI) Introduction
Angioplasty, also called Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), is a procedure to open clogged heart arteries. It uses a small balloon to widen the artery and improve blood flow. This surgery is commonly done to treat coronary artery disease.
Restoring Blood Flow with PCI
During PCI, a thin, flexible tube called a catheter is inserted through a blood vessel in the groin or wrist. A tiny balloon at the tip of the catheter is carefully guided to the blocked area of the heart artery. The balloon is then inflated to press the plaque against the artery wall and open up the vessel. In most cases, a small metal mesh tube called a stent is placed in the artery to keep it open. Special tools like fluoroscopy imaging and contrast dye are used to precisely locate the blockage. This surgery helps restore proper blood circulation to the heart muscle.
Why it’s done?
- To treat narrowing or blockages in the coronary arteries caused by atherosclerosis.
- To relieve symptoms of coronary artery disease, such as chest pain (angina) and shortness of breath.
- To minimize heart muscle damage during or after a heart attack.
- To improve blood flow in patients who cannot undergo open-heart surgery.
- To prevent future cardiac events in high-risk individuals.
