Microsoft word - advice to patients on angioplasty.doc

Advice to patients having an angioplasty What is an angioplasty? An angioplasty is an x ray procedure to open a narrowed or blocked artery in order to improve blood flow. It involves inserting a long tube (a catheter) into the artery under x- ray control. The catheter has a small ‘balloon’ at the end, which is inflated inside the blocked or narrowed part of the artery to open it up. I
