Coronary angioplasty is sometimes referred to as a percutaneous coronary intervention. It is a technique used to clear blocked or clogged heart arteries. In angioplasty, a small catheter in the shape of a balloon is put into constricted vessels to open them and increase the heart’s blood flow. A stent is a tiny wire mesh inserted into blood arteries during angioplasty. The stent widens the artery and lessens the likelihood of its re-narrowing. While bare-metal stents are occasionally utilized, most stents are drug-coated, helping to keep the artery or route open.

Chest pain and breathing difficulties are two signs of clogged arteries which are alleviated with angioplasty. It tackles the development of fatty plaque in the blood arteries of the heart, named atherosclerosis.

Everyone can’t be a candidate for an angioplasty; it depends on your heart condition and general health.
