Definition for Coronary Angioplasty
Widening of obstructed heart arteries Procedure to treat blocked segments of arteries of the heart
Coronary Angioplasty is also known as: Coronary angioplasty, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI), Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA), Percutaneous coronary interventions, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty, PTCA .
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty is a therapeutic procedure to treat the stenotic (narrowed) coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease.

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), commonly known as coronary angioplasty is a therapeutic procedure to treat the stenotic (narrowed) coronary arteries of the heart found in coronary heart disease. These stenotic segments are due to the build up of cholesterol-laden plaques that form due to atherosclerosis. PCI is usually performed by an interventional cardiologist.
