Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA)

Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty or PTCA, more simply known as Angioplasty, is one of the most common and one of the least invasive procedures for restoring the flow of blood in blocked and damaged coronary arteries. It is used to prevent coronary artery disease that can result when fat and cholesterol deposit form plaques in arterial walls.

PTCA is performed by inserting a tube called a catheter onto the narrowed area of the artery. At the end of the catheter is a balloon, which is then inflated when the target area is reached.
