Légende : Iliac artery angioplasty. Coloured angiogram of an iliac artery with a balloon catheter (line running from lower left to upper centre). An angioplasty is a surgical procedure where a stent (wire mesh, not seen) is inserted into a narrowed (stenosed) artery to widen it. The balloon region of the catheter (upper left) is used to expand the stent that will hold the artery open.
