Heart Hospital Riverside Performs Angioplasty
Cardiologists at any heart hospital Riverside may catheterize the coronary arteries for multiple reasons. For instance, cardiologists may want to locate patches of atherosclerosis, or to monitor blood flow in coronary arteries. Doctors will use the catheter to perform a procedure called angioplasty with stenting, if they find a fatty plaque disrupting blood flow in coronary arteries.
