Coronary angioplasty and stenting continue to be used in stable coronary artery disease (meaning, NOT in the middle of the kind of heart attack I had), even though studies show that these expensive, invasive procedures add no significant survival benefit in those living with stable angina. Angioplasty and stenting carry serious risks (including heart attack and stroke) to the patient. The goal of this famous awareness poster from the Parsemus Foundation is to help prevent patients from facing unnecessary risks and debilitating medical expenses without a clear, expected and proven health benefit.![]()
