| Intracoronary stenting without anticoagulation accomplished with intravascular ultrasound guidance. It is also indicated in the United States for the treatment of patients at time of PCI, including in patients undergoing intracoronary stenting. Although PCI and intracoronary stenting are generally successful at restoring blood flow and preventing the collapse of the artery, the deployment of the stent into the artery wall can result in the clumping of blood cells called platelets and the development of an intracoronary thrombus or blood clot. |
