How Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) is performed
PCI is usually performed under image guidance. Drug-coated stents or drug-coated balloons can be selected, depending on the lesion morphology and assessment. A common practice is to insert a catheter into the coronary artery through a percutaneous approach, perform angiography to locate the stenosis, pre-dilate with a balloon, implant a stent or use a drug-coated balloon as needed, and combine with intravascular ultrasound/OCT and functional guidance. Postoperative monitoring includes ECG and hemodynamics, and observation of the puncture site. The goal is to improve blood supply and relieve ischemia. The above is general health information, not medical advice; the specific plan is subject to specialist assessment and hospital protocol.
