A member asked:
If i have single vessel disease, should i definitely have a pci with stent, or when is it considered that its needed ? at how much % stenosis
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The decision to have percutaneous coronary intervention for single vessel dz depends on the presence of heart failure symptoms, predictable chest pain uncontrolled by medication, or symptoms suggesting decreased flow to your heart (shortness of breath, arrhythmia, fainting, history of heart attack). If mild or without symptoms, PCI is not indicated unless a stress test demonstrates high risk.
