- Short term procedure in the sense that it can be done immediately unlike dieting and exercising (which could take months). An angioplasty procedure takes 1-2 hours and is painless because the patient is given a sedative.
- Effective because it pushes the plaque away and widens the lumen of the artery with a balloon. Opposite of atherosclerosis which narrows the artery because of plaque.
- Not open-heart surgery. The procedure is also not even surgery. It's a tube going through blood vessels all the way to the heart. No need to cut bones.

Undergoing an Angioplasty procedure to treat Coronary Artery disease is very effective because it is much faster than dieting, artificially reverses the process of atherosclerosis, and has less risks than open heart surgery.
