The balloon is inflated,crushing the plaque into the walls of the artery and expanding the stent. The balloon is deflated and removed leaving the stent in place holding the passageway open for easy blood flow. Image 4 of 4. The pathology this procedure is used for is shown in images BP4210 and BP4211 | |
