The procedure initial ly was referred
to as a coronary angioplasty, which
involves inserting an inflated balloon
to dilate an artery and relieve block
age.
But Mahapatra said Smith’s proce
dure went one step further by inserting
a metal stent in two arteries.
The procedure is relatively new, he
said, but preferred by one-third of
patients who opt for non-surgical ways
to relieve blocked arteries.
Smith was admitted to the hospital
Tuesday after consulting his cardiolo
gist Dr. Charles Wilson, also an NU
regent, about having heart pain.
Mahapatra said Smith was given
two options: either to have a coronary
bypass or a non-surgical coronary
angioplasty with the stent placement.
Smith opted for the non-surgical route.
