Myocardial Revascularization

Myocardial revascularization is a medical procedure to restore blood flow to the heart muscle when it's restricted by blockages in the coronary arteries. These blockages can cause chest pain or heart attacks. The two main types are coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), where healthy blood vessels are used to reroute blood around blockages, and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which involves inserting a tiny balloon or stent to open the narrowed arteries. The goal is to improve oxygen supply to the heart, relieve symptoms, and prevent serious heart problems.
