Yes, they might. Your doctor may recommend a surgical procedure if your medications no longer help control your angina pain. The goal of these procedures is to allow an increased flow of blood to the oxygen-deprived heart. The four primary procedure options are percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), coronary artery bypass graft (CABG), enhanced external counterpulsation (EECP), and transmyocardial revascularization (TMR).
