Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), called angioplasty, is an interventional treatment used to clear a blockage in the heart's coronary arteries and restore healthy blood flow. A catheter including a balloon and a stent gets introduced in the arm or leg for this surgery. Through this, one of the arteries goes to the heart and guided carefully.
Why is angioplasty done?
Like every other organ or component of the body, the heart requires a constant flow of oxygen-rich blood to function correctly. The coronary arteries supply this. Cholesterol deposition occurs on the arterial walls over time due to an underlying illness, narrowing the arteries and reducing blood flow. Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is the medical term for this illness.
Fat deposits, combined with cellular debris and other chemicals, build and solidify over time in some CAD patients, forming a plaque. This is called Atherosclerosis. If there are any blockages or other medical issues, the doctor performs Coronary Arterial Bypass Grafting (CABG) or bypass surgery. Other medical conditions that require angioplasty are:

Preparation
During the procedure
Balloon angioplasty gets performed under local anaesthesia and takes anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes. It depends on the number of blockages and any difficulties encountered during the treatment.
A catheter, a small thin tube, gets placed into the artery leading to the heart in your arm or leg and directed to the heart using a Teflon or Terumo wire. Under fluoroscopic supervision, a tiny guide wire gets used to traverse the blocked region of the artery. A deflated balloon gets affixed to the tip of the balloon catheter, which gets passed through the guidewire.
The dye gets placed into the catheter tube once it reaches the site of the obstruction. This allows the clinician to see the artery more clearly.
