Popis:	Arterial angioplasty was first reported by Dotter and Judkins in 1964 for the treatment of peripheral vascular lesions using rigid intravascular dilators. Inflation of an angioplasty balloon in the artery causes dissection of the atherosclerotic plaque and adjacent intima. The medial and adventitial layers are also dilated. This controlled stretch injury increases the cross-sectional area of the vascular lumen. Over several weeks, the artery remodels via re-endothelialization of the intima.
