Coronary Angioplasty: A Life Saving Procedure

Angioplasty is the process mostly recommended to treat coronary artery disease - a condition that arises when plaque deposit on the inner walls of the arteries make them narrow and rigid.

 

This apparently inhibits the blood flow to the heart muscle which then becomes deficient in oxygen. The plaque can further damage the artery possibly leading to a heart attack or cardiac death.
