It is a therapeutic intervention in cardiovascular and endovascular medicine, most commonly applied to the coronary arteries. In cardiology, Angioplasty is usually performed as part of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), often with stent placement. It is also used in selected non-coronary vessels in peripheral artery disease (PAD) and other vascular conditions."}
