Abstract:
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is that delivering balloon catheter and/or equipment such as a stent to the target coronary artery bypass peripheral artery, at the same time, expanding and opening the stenosis of coronary artery. Through several decades of development, PCI has become a most effective way to rescue patients with coronary heart disease and become one of the biggest advances in the field of heart disease. Because of the development of PCI, more lives have been saved in patients with coronary heart disease. However, PCI does not meet the point of perfection, still has a lot of issues remain to be further resolved. Through a review the development of PCI, we may be able to get some insights to perfect the treatment technique for the patients of coronary heart disease.
