Primary percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) (including coronary stenting) is now the treatment of choice for patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
During primary Angioplasty a small tube is placed at the wrist or the groin. A catheter is inserted through the tube leading to the coronary artery. A wire is passed across the blockage. A balloon is placed on the wire across the blockage and is inflated. The balloon is subsequently removed and a stent is taken on the wire across the blockage and inflated. The Stent stays in the artery preventing the artery from collapsing and maintains the flow in the artery.
