Angioplasty stent procedure is a common cardiac treatment used to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries and restore proper blood flow to the heart. The procedure is usually recommended for patients with coronary artery disease who experience chest pain or reduced blood circulation to the heart muscle. During the angioplasty stent procedure, a thin catheter is inserted through an artery in the wrist or groin and guided to the blocked artery using imaging technology. A small balloon is inflated to widen the artery, and a metal mesh stent is placed to keep the artery open and improve blood flow.
