PCI is commonly used to open blocked arteries to treat significant myocardial ischemia , which occurs when the heart muscle does not get enough oxygenated blood. The idea behind preventive PCI is that a stent could help to stabilize a high-risk plaque lesion and thus reduce its risk of rupture before a heart attack occurs.
