What is Angioplasty?
You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

Percutaneous coronary intervention, also known as coronary angioplasty, opens narrowed coronary arteries.
A catheter inserted in an artery in the groin or arm is threaded to the affected artery. A second catheter is then inserted inside the first one.
When the catheter reaches the narrowed area, a balloon on its tip is inflated to reopen the artery.
While the catheters are in the artery, a stent may be placed to prevent re-narrowing after an artery is widened.
