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.
