Yes, percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA) is commonly referred to as balloon angioplasty. This minimally invasive procedure involves using a balloon catheter to open narrowed or blocked coronary arteries, improving blood flow to the heart. The balloon is inflated at the site of the blockage to widen the artery, and it may be followed by the placement of a stent to maintain the artery's openness.
