Transluminal coronary angioplasty, commonly referred to as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), stands as a pivotal medical procedure designed to address constricted or obstructed coronary arteries. These arteries play a crucial role in supplying blood to the heart muscle, and their blockage by plaque or fatty deposits can result in diminished blood flow, angina, or potential heart attacks. The procedure involves navigating a slender catheter, equipped with a balloon at its tip, through the blood vessels to the site of the blockage. Upon reaching the targeted location, the balloon is inflated, exerting pressure to compress the plaque and widen the artery, thereby restoring normal blood flow. In certain instances, the deployment of a stent—a minute mesh tube—serves to maintain the openness of the artery.
