What’s a balloon dilation?

Stanford Health Care explained a balloon dilation is when “a small, flexible tube is inserted into a blood vessel in the groin, and guided to the inside of a heart”.

Once the tube is inserted, the deflated balloon at its tip is inflated to stretch open the blood vessel.

This will help to improve blood flow to the heart, as the arteries will be wider.
