Definition of Balloon angioplasty
Balloon angioplasty definition - medical term
Coronary angioplasty is accomplished using a balloon-tipped
catheter inserted through an artery in the groin or arm to enlarge a narrowing in
a coronary artery. Coronary artery disease occurs when cholesterol plaque builds
up (atherosclerosis) in the walls of the arteries to the heart. Angioplasty is successful
in opening coronary arteries in 90% of patients. 40% of patients with successful
coronary angioplasty will develop recurrent narrowing at the site of balloon inflation.
