A PCI usually takes between one and two hours, although sometimes it can take longer. The typical PCI procedure steps are as follows:
- You’ll be given a local anaesthetic to numb your groin or wrist. You may also be given a sedative to help you relax.
- A small tube will be inserted into your artery. A catheter is then placed inside that tube.
- The catheter will have a small, deflated balloon attached to it. This is guided into place using an X-ray.
- The balloon is inflated, which opens your artery.
- A stent, made of wire mesh, will be inserted to keep the artery open.
- The balloon and catheter are then removed, leaving the stent in position.
