Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to us.
This question in a given patient is best answered by the treating physician. However a general rule you can fly after 6 weeks of a PCI procedure, provided you are stable otherwise.
People can travel even after 2 weeks of such a procedure, however, if by any chance a complication occurs, no help will be available which is usually required immediately.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
