Angioplasty is a procedure used to restore blood flow to the heart. During angioplasty, a balloon-tipped catheter is inserted into a patient’s blocked artery. A stent (small wire cage) may be inserted to keep the artery open. By quickly restoring blood flow, damage to the heart is minimized. Research shows primary angioplasty is better than clot busting drugs in limiting permanent heart muscle damage.
