Coronary heart diseases
Coronary Angioplasty (PCI)
Coronary angioplasty is a procedure aimed at repairing narrowed or blocked coronary arteries caused by cholesterol plaques. This procedure is usually performed following a coronary angiography, which allows visualization of the narrowing presents in the coronary arteries.
The intervention involves inserting a small balloon into the blocked artery and then inflating it to widen the vessel. In most cases, a stent (endoprosthesis) is then placed to keep the artery open.
