Percutaneous coronary intervention
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the dominant method for mechanically improving myocardial perfusion in the treatment of coronary artery disease. The procedure is performed via a small intra-arterial sheath and usually involves a single overnight stay in hospital. Day-case treatment is not infrequent. A balloon is used to dilate the coronary

Carotid access for percutaneous coronary intervention [PDF]
Vascular access for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is usually obtained through the radial or femoral, and to lesser extent the brachial or ulnar artery. We describe the transcarotid approach for PCI in a patient with severe peripheral artery disease. No adverse neurological or cardiac events were observed.

Facilitated Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
The goal of the initial treatment for ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction is rapid and effective reperfusion. Randomized trials have demonstrated that primary angioplasty is preferred over thrombolysis if done in a timely manner and by an experienced team. However, due to many factors, performance of primary angioplasty within the goal of 90 min
