Angiography, Angioplasty and Stent Placement refers to a series of methods to view and treat blood vessel problems such as blockages.

• Angiography is an X-ray (angiogram) of arteries and veins to see if there is a blockage or narrowing of a blood vessel
• Angioplasty is a technique where a thin balloon is attached to a tube and inserted into a blocked vessel. The balloon is opened in the blocked area which opens the blood vessel.
• Stents are flexible tubes that are inserted into the body to help keep open clogged areas in blood vessels.
