Post PCI stress test: Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is the use of balloon angioplasty, stents, or other devices to treat coronary artery disease. Whether patients who have had PCI need to have periodic stress tests in follow up has been debated. The right answer for a particular patient really depends on the history, symptoms, nature of the coronary problems, EKG, exercise capacity, and other factors.
