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.

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.
