Surgery of the week!
Angioplasty : A procedure to restore blood flow to arteries after being blocked by a sticky material called plaque. The surgeon threads a thin tube through a blood vessel then into the targeted artery. A tiny balloon at the end gets inflated to push the plaque towards the walls of the artery which widens and restores the blood flow.
