Angioplasty is performed in the cardiac catheterization laboratory, or “cardiac cath lab,” in a hospital. The physician who performs the procedure is called an interventional cardiologist, a heart doctor with additional education, training and experience in treating cardiovascular problems with thin, flexible tubes called catheters. Before the procedure, your interventional cardiologist will review any risks of the procedure and the anesthesia that will be used, as well as obtain your informed consent, which gives your physician permission to perform the procedure. The interventional cardiologist will use a small needle to inject lidocaine (an anesthetic that makes you numb but doesn’t make you sleep) in the upper leg or in the arm. (This needle prick could be the only pain you will feel throughout the procedure.)
