Angioplasty is a medical procedure that is commonly used to treat narrowed or blocked arteries. It involves the insertion of a small balloon catheter into the affected artery, which is then inflated to widen the artery and restore blood flow. In some cases, a stent, which is a small mesh tube, may be inserted to keep the artery open.
Angioplasty is a minimally invasive alternative to open surgery and can be used to treat a variety of conditions, including coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, and renal artery stenosis. The procedure is generally considered safe and effective, with a low risk of complications.
