| percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty |
Very much like a cardiac catheterization except the hollow tube is used to pass a balloon into an area of blockage within the heart vessel. The balloon is inflated and can push the blockage down against the wall of the vessel allowing more blood flow.

| percutaneous nephrolithotomy |
Percutaneous means "through the skin." In PCN, the surgeon or urologist makes a 1-centimeter incision under local anesthesia in the patient's back, through which an instrument called a nephroscope is passed directly into the kidney and, if necessary, the ureter. Smaller stones may be manually extracted. Large ones may need to be broken up with ultrasonic, electrohydraulic or laser- tipped probes before they can be extracted. A tube may be inserted into the kidney for drainage.

| percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty |
unblocks coronary arteries by inserting a thin tube (usually) from the groin up the major arteries and then into the coronary artery. A balloon in the tip of the tube is inflated to push aside the blockage and restore the blood supply. A stent may also be placed across the blockage at the same time to keep the artery open.
