How It Is Done

  1. 1Pre-operative assessment including ECG, echocardiography, blood tests, and angiography
  2. 2Administration of local anesthesia
  3. 3Catheter insertion through wrist or groin artery
  4. 4Injection of contrast dye for imaging
  5. 5Balloon inflation to open blockage
  6. 6Stent placement to keep artery open
  7. 7Removal of catheter and monitoring
