If blood clots block a coronary artery, a heart attack will occur. Doctors may use angioplasty and stents to treat CHD. During angioplasty, a thin, flexible tube with a balloon or other device on the end is threaded through a blood vessel to the narrow or blocked coronary artery. Doctors may use stents to treat coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is a disease in which a waxy substance called plaque (plak) builds up inside the coronary arteries. These arteries supply your heart muscle with oxygen-rich blood.
