A balloon is advanced the where the lesion exists, then inflated, essentially crushing the plaque open. A stent is then deployed to the area to keep it open. If the lesion is amenable to angioplasty then they are very successful - it is rare that an attempt to deploy a stent is made and can not be done, or a complication intercedes. On the other hand there can be lesions that can not be reached, completely blocked, or in a vessel or place in a vessel that would not improve your condition or heart function. In those cases, often no intervention is performed. It is a very common procedure that has very few down sides and many up sides. I have seen patients come back a week after the procedure and say "I haven't felt this good in 20 years." The results can be really dramatic. Good luck and good health. I hope this helps.
