Mr Aziz's blocked artery
Mr Aziz’s story
Watch Prof James Spratt and Dr Jonathan Hill, Consultant Interventional Cardiologists, solve a patient's blocked coronary arteries using the latest percutaneous (keyhole) techniques - through a tiny incision in the arm or groin.
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention
Prof James Spratt and Dr Jonathan Hill, Consultant Interventional Cardiologists, solve a patient's blocked coronary artery using a non-surgical procedure called Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI). A catheter is used to place a small structure called a stent to open up blood vessels in the heart that have been narrowed.
This type of procedure can produce immediate relief from symptoms, and patients can often go home the same day or the next day.
