Also known as Percutaneous Coronary Intervention, this procedure is typically performed after a heart attack or acute myocardial infarction to save lives.

It clears blocked coronary arteries and restores blood flow to the heart immediately. A catheter with a balloon attached to it is inserted into the artery and inflated during the procedure.

After the artery is opened, a medicated metal stent is placed to improve blood flow. The stent, a metal mesh cylinder, becomes a permanent part of the body, lowering the risk of future heart attacks.

Primary angioplasty should be done as soon as possible after the first signs and symptoms of a heart attack appear.
