Angioplasty is a surgical procedure to widen a narrowed or obstructed blood vessel.  Coronary Angioplasty is a non-invasive surgery where an empty and collapsed balloon known as catheter is guided into an artery to the narrowed locations and then inflated to a fixed size using water pressures some 75 to 500 times normal blood pressure.  The balloon crushes the fatty deposits and helps in opening up the blood vessel for improved blood flow.  Then the balloon is deflated and withdrawn.  Along with the balloon catheter, a stent (a wire mesh tube) may or may not be inserted to ensure the vessel remains open.  The stent if inserted will remain in the blood vessel after the balloon is withdrawn.  This stent will ensure the blood flow without obstruction.
