Angioplasty: Angioplasty is an invasive but nonsurgical procedure to open up blocked arteries. Using a balloon catheter, a surgeon can stretch the artery walls and flatten fatty deposits. The surgeon then inserts a stent (small tube) to keep the artery open.
<span>Angioplasty uses a balloon tipped catheter into a narrow or blocked blood vessel where the balloon is inflated to open the vessel and improve blood flow.</span>
