This procedure is a non-surgical treatment done to open blockages in
the arteries that carry blood to the heart muscle. A thin tube is threaded
through a major blood vessel in the leg up to the heart, and a small
balloon or other device on the tip of the tube is used to reduce or
eliminate the blockage. The procedure may be done to reduce chest pain,
prevent or treat heart attacks, or to treat other heart problems caused
by blockages in the coronary arteries. Usually the procedure is done
on an out-patient basis. This indicator reports the number of times
the procedure was performed on hospitalized patients only. Instructions
