Balloon Angioplasty and Stenting Animation

Angioplasty is a widely used procedure that is performed for patients with cardiovascular disease. The procedure involves inserting a catheter through a vein in the leg to reach the heart. A balloon catheter slides over the wire and is placed in the clogged area of the coronary artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated, compressing the plaque buildup and widening the artery. Heart disease treated with angioplasty usually provides rapid relief of symptoms such as chest pain and/or shortness of breath. The majority of patients return to regular life activities without chest pain in a short time.
