Coronary angioplasty is the method used to open blocked or narrowed heart vessels. Angioplasty is the process of dilating the vessel by inflating a small balloon in the area where the heart artery is occluded. Angioplasty is often combined with permanent placement of a small wire mesh tube called a stent to help open the artery and reduce the possibility of its re-narrowing. Angioplasty procedure improves the symptoms of the blocked vessel such as chest pain and shortness of breath.
What is Cardiology?
Cardiology is the branch of science that examines diseases related to the heart and circulatory system. Cardiology, which was a sub-branch of the internal medicine department, is now a separate department.
