A stent was put in the right artery of the 74-year-old chief minister. She was admitted to the hospital Monday evening after she complained of fatigue and throat infection.”She is fine and will be discharged soon,” said the official. She also underwent a heart surgery in 2001.

Angioplasty is the term used for mechanically widening narrowed or obstructed arteries. It is not a surgery. Coronary angioplasty is a procedure used to open narrow or blocked coronary (heart) arteries to restore blood flow to the heart muscle. A thin, flexible catheter (tube) with a balloon at its tip is passed through a blood vessel to the affected artery. Once in place, the balloon is inflated which compresses the plaque against the artery wall. Angioplasty can be done with or without a small wire-mesh tube called stent.
