You cannot eliminate the plaque entirely, but multiple clinical trials have shown plaque regression using high-intensity cholesterol-lowering treatments, which I have discussed previously. All of these parameters are important and need to be considered when evaluating plaque regression. REVERSAL Investigators.

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 stent is left in place, where it props the artery open to allow blood to flow freely; medications eluted by the stent can also help to prevent further plaque buildup.

Arteries generally narrow and occlude for one of two reasons: The progressive accumulation of plaque. A plaque ruptures, and a clot forms in the artery, thereby occluding it. The second reason is commonly referred to as a ‘Heart Attack’ or acute coronary syndrome. Prevent you from having a future heart attack.
