Coronary artery balloon angioplasty - series
From DrKoop's partner site on chronic pain, ChronicPainConnection.com
Once the catheter has been positioned at the coronary artery origin, contrast media is injected and a series of X-rays (film) are taken to check for any change in the arteries. Following this, the catheter is removed and the procedure is completed.
