Patient was educated on balloon angioplasty as follows:

1. This is a surgical procedure used to restore patency in a blood vessel that has collapsed.
2. The narrowing or collapse of a vessel can be secondary to plaque formation or a clot deposition in the wall of the vessel. This can result in poor supply of oxygen and nutrients to the parts distal to the obstruction.
3. The narrowing of blood vessels can occur in any arteries, such as in the chest or in the extremities.
4. Balloon angioplasty is a procedure in which a small inflatable balloon catheter is introduced through an incision on the skin and advanced to the point of narrowing. When the balloon is at the narrowing of the artery, it is inflated to expand the artery at the point of narrowing, so that, it will accommodate more volume of blood to pass through.
