How serious is an angioplasty procedure?

Minimal: Minimally invasive but everything has potential risks ask your doctor to discuss prior to the procedure.

Serious Due to Ds: Angioplasty indicates someone thinks disease (in wall of artery) has become so advanced that plaque ruptures, clots & narrowing severe enough to produce symptoms have occurred. While less invasive & more flexible in options than open chest bypass surgery, this is still serious with serious complications (though less frequent over time.) best aggressively change what drives the underlying disease.
