These new findings suggest that people with high-risk plaques that are likely to rupture could benefit from the procedure as a pre-emptive measure rather than waiting for a heart attack or other severe reduction in blood flow to occur. During PCI, an operator inserts a stent into a blocked artery through a catheter in the groin or arm.
