Heart blood vesel shrink
Hi,
A doctor in India diagonized that my brother had a mild heart attack a week ago due to block in one of his heart blood vessels. The Doctor asked us take Angiogram and diagonized that one of his heart blood vessel is shrunk upto 60% and is blocking the blood flow.Now he wants to perform a surgery called "Angioblast" which involves blowing some air in to blood vessel and widening the vessel in the area where it is shrunk and he is charging us huge sum of money to perform this surgery.Can anyone please suggest if this is the correct procedure to do. When i searched for "Angioblast" over internet i couldn't find anything relevant to what doctor said.
Any help will be appreciated.
