ngioplasty is recommended depends not just on the percentage of blockage, but also on symptoms, overall heart health, and the location of the blockageIn patients with symptoms like chest pain or shortness of breath, a blockage of 70% or greater is usually considered significant enough to benefit from angioplasty to restore blood flow to the heart.
