Angioplasty for Coronary Artery Disease
|
Catheter-based treatment of coronary artery disease (Percutaneous coronary intervention)
If you have coronary artery disease, blocked arteries supplying blood to the heart, you may be eligible for diagnosis and minimally invasive treatment at the NIH Clinical Center. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is a procedure that treats blocked coronary arteries without surgery. PCI may include angioplasty (balloon opening of a blockage) and stenting (permanent implantation of a metal mesh to keep the artery open).
There is no cost to you for evaluation or treatment. You may be invited to participate in research studies, but your participation in research is NOT mandatory.
