Angioplasty / Stenting

Angioplasty is a minimally invasive

surgical repair

of a blood vessel which aims to improve blood flow. Sometimes a

stent

is inserted during this procedure to hold open an

artery

. An

Interventional Cardiologist

will perform an angioplasty. This surgery is most commonly performed if you are having a

heart attack

, have severe 

Angina

or have severely reduced blood flow to the heart muscle caused by narrowed arteries.
