Angioplasty

Angioplasty is a “catheter-based” procedure that improves the flow of blood within the arteries.

These procedures are typically in and out procedures that do not require an overnight hospital stay. Patients receive a mild sedative and local anesthetic during the procedure.

We insert a balloon tipped catheter into the artery and place it across the blockage. We then inflate the balloon to open the artery and remove the catheter
