Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty

This procedure is a non-surgical treatment done to open blockages in the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle. A thin tube is threaded through a major blood vessel in the leg up to the heart, and a small balloon or other device on the tip of the tube is used to reduce or eliminate the blockage. The procedure may be done to reduce chest pain, prevent or treat heart attacks, or to treat other heart problems caused by blockages in the coronary arteries. Usually the procedure is done on an out-patient basis. This indicator reports the number of times the procedure was performed on hospitalized patients only.
