Answer:
During angioplasty, the doctor makes an incision in the groin or wrist and inserts a tube, or catheter, into an artery then they thread the catheter upwards and into the affected blood vessel around the heart, the catheter contains an inflatable balloon that displaces the plaque or clot, effectively opening up the artery.
