percutaneous coronary intervention (pci)

What are the Outcomes and Complications of PCI?

The outcomes of PCI can be favorable, with many patients experiencing significant relief from symptoms and improved heart function. However, there are also potential complications, such as:
- Restenosis: Recurrence of artery narrowing at the site of intervention.
- Thrombosis: Formation of a blood clot at the stent site.
- Bleeding: Due to the use of anticoagulant medications during and after the procedure.
- Heart Attack: Although rare, there is a risk of myocardial infarction during or after PCI.
