PCI vs CABG
PCI | CABG |
|---|---|
Less invasive catheter-based procedure | Major open-heart surgery |
Balloon angioplasty + stent | Uses a graft to bypass the blocked artery |
Usually preferred for emergent MI reperfusion | Used when disease is more complex or PCI is not appropriate |
Opens the existing artery | Creates a new route around the blockage |
Faster recovery | Longer recovery |
easy memorization
PCI = Push the blockage open
CABG = Create A Bypass around the blockage
