Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), or angioplasty, is a procedure to open blocked coronary arteries. There are two main access approaches: ?? Radial Artery Approach: Catheter inserted through the wrist. Preferred for lower bleeding risk and faster recovery. ??Femoral Artery Approach: Catheter inserted through the groin. Used when the radial artery is unsuitable or for complex cases, but has a higher bleeding risk. Possible complications include bleeding, blood vessel damage, allergic reactions, blood clots, and heart rhythm issues, though these are relatively rare. After PCI, patients are closely monitored and receive medications to prevent clots and manage pain. They also receive instructions on physical activity, follow-up care, and lifestyle changes like a heart-healthy diet, exercise, and smoking cessation. Adhering to medical advice and follow-up appointments is crucial for recovery and long-term heart health. Appoint your consult with specialist ??
