Currently, the average folks don't have much money, and not everyone can afford a PCI procedure. Additionally, PCI surgeries are short, usually completed in about an hour or so per patient, sometimes even less than an hour. In slower cases involving special circumstances, such as patients undergoing ablation for arrhythmias, the doctor must slowly adjust and verify the patient's heart rhythm during the surgery, which can last from morning to late afternoon, up to ten hours long. However, such surgeries are rarely encountered. The quick turnover rate of operating rooms means that many are not needed.
Most patients can't afford stent implantation and only undergo angiographic examination, which is even faster.
