About this treatment
Angioplasty and Stent Placement is a commonly performed cardiac procedure used to treat coronary artery disease. During the procedure, a thin catheter with a balloon is inserted into the blocked artery. The balloon is inflated to widen the artery, and a small mesh tube called a stent is placed to keep the artery open permanently. This treatment improves blood circulation to the heart, relieves chest pain, and reduces the risk of heart attack.
