Carotid Artery Disease: Angioplasty
Dr. Athanassios Tsoukas, Vascular Surgeon with Miami Cardiac & Vascular Institute, explains how the angioplasty is. He describes the catheter could be inserted through one of the growing arteries, such as a cardiac catheterization or a cardiac stent.
In carotid stenting, the plaque has been displaced and the stent is inserted through the same wire and expanded, the specialist says.
