In the term angioplasty, “angio” means blood vessels, and “plasty” is opening up. Angioplasty is also known as balloon angioplasty and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA). It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to enlarge narrowed or clogged arteries or veins. It is a heart surgery procedure done to correct the flow of blood through an artery. The heart arteries become blocked or narrowed due to the increase of cholesterol or other substances like plaques. This reduces blood flow to your heart and causes chest discomfort. These blood clots can get worse causing blockages which later leads to a heart attack. Why is it done? Angioplasty surgery opens up the blocked arteries and restores the blood flow in the normal state to the heart muscles. It is also done when you have tried all sorts of medicines or lifestyle changes but none of them have improved your heart health. In case if you have gone through a heart attack, angioplasty surgery is done to open up the blocked artery. It is not a major surgery, Heart specialist use a thin tube and pass it either through a leg or arm artery to the heart. This tube is opened by expanding a tiny balloon in it.
