:DEFINITION
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
(PCI, formerly known as angioplasty with
stent) is a non-surgical procedure that
uses a catheter (a thin flexible tube) to
place a small structure called a stent to
open up blood vessels in the heart that
have been narrowed by plaque buildup,
a condition known as atherosclerosis.
though it was developed and originally
.performed by interventional radiologists
History
Coronary angioplasty, also known as
percutaneous transluminal coronary
angioplasty (PTCA), because it is
done through the skin and through
the lumen of the artery, was first
developed in 1977 by Andreas
Gruentzig.
:PCI procedure
procedures done during a
percutaneous coronary intervention
include:
Balloon angioplasty.
Implantation of stents
Rotational or laser atherectomy
Brachytherapy (use of radioactive
source to inhibit restenosis.
:PCI technique
Access into the femoral artery in the
leg (or, less commonly, into the
radial artery or brachial artery in the
arm) is created by a device called an
"introducer needle". This procedure
is often termed percutaneous access.
Complications of PCI
:Intravascular contrast
Sever delayed reactions have been
known to occur 30-60 minutes after
administration. Rare undesirable
reactions, ranging from mild nausea
to life threatening anaphylaxis have
occurred.
