- Introduction
- Angioplasty is a medical term, and its meaning is to restore a narrowed blood vessel to its original shape by a method, even if it becomes the original shape when it is not narrowed, to re-open the blood flow and restore the blood supply. Normal, commonly known as "Tongbo Tsai".
- This therapy originated in the 1960s and was mainly treated with a balloon catheter before the 1980s, so the angioplasty is also called balloon angioplasty, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) and coronary 2 Arterial balloon dilatation. Angioplasty is a minimally invasive procedure that reaches a diseased artery through a small incision in the upper or lower limb. The doctor then inserts a small expandable balloon through the incision, which acts as a plaque removal device by physically expanding the balloon and removing obstacles in the narrowed or blocked arteries. After that, some new technologies appeared, such as laser angiogenesis, atherectomy, and intravascular support. Angioplasty is mainly used to treat coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, and restore blood perfusion through blood vessels.
