HEART STENT || Angioplasty || Heart Attack Treatment - PCI

Heart Stent, Angioplasty, and PCI (percutaneous coronary intervention) are three related medical procedures that are commonly used to treat heart attacks and other cardiac issues.

A heart attack occurs when the blood flow to the heart is partially or completely obstructed, which can lead to tissue damage or death. These procedures are used to treat heart attacks and other cardiac issues, such as unstable angina, or chest pain that occurs at rest.

When it cannot treat a heart attack:

However, it's important to note that these procedures are not suitable for all cases of heart attack. For example, if the blockage is too severe or if the person is not stable enough to undergo the procedure, alternative treatments may be necessary.

Preparation:
Patients will need to undergo a series of tests to determine if they are suitable candidates for heart stents, angioplasty, or PCI. These may include an electrocardiogram (ECG), blood tests, and imaging tests such as a coronary angiogram.
Duration:

The procedure itself typically takes between 30 minutes and 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the case. Patients are usually awake during the procedure but given medication to help them relax. Some patients may need to stay in the hospital overnight for observation.
Post-care:

After the procedure, patients will need to take certain medications to help prevent blood clots and reduce the risk of future heart problems. They will also need to make lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly.
