Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI)

Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is a non-invasive method that uses a catheter(a thin flexible tube) combined with a small wire mesh tube called a stent that is inserted in a blocked blood vessel to help widen it and improve blood flow to the heart. The stent helps to keep the artery open, decreasing its chance of narrowing again.
