Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Guide With Types of Stents and Precautions After Angioplasty
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), commonly known as angioplasty with stent, is a minimally invasive heart procedure to open blocked arteries and improve blood flow. It uses stents like bare-metal, drug-eluting, or bioresorbable to keep vessels open. After angioplasty, patients must follow precautions, including taking prescribed medicines, avoiding heavy lifting, eating heart-healthy foods, staying active but gentle, and attending regular checkups to prevent complications and improve recovery.
