What is High-Risk PCI, and How Do You Safely Perform It?

09/29/2011

William W. O'Neill , MD;

You can liken performance of high-risk percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) to attempting to repair a damaged car engine while it is turned on. Moreover, that car is trying to slowly drive away from a steep cliff with the ocean crashing...
