Coronary angioplasty, commonly known as percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), is a medical technique crucial to open constrictions present in the coronary arteries. Without requiring extensive heart surgery, it brings the blood flow back to the heart tissue. Primary angioplasty refers to angioplasty performed in an emergency situation during an acute heart attack and is therefore a life-saving procedure.

Angioplasty is a medical procedure used to treat narrowed or blocked blood vessels, most commonly in the arteries of the heart (coronary arteries) but also in other parts of the body. The purpose of angioplasty is to restore blood flow through the affected blood vessel and improve blood circulation.

An artery with an accumulation of plaque can be made larger inside the artery via a treatment called angioplasty or angioplasty surgery.
