Step 1
Under image guidance. the doctor passes a very small balloon through a thin tube (catheter) into the blood vessel to the site of the blockage

Step 2
The Cryoplasty balloon is filled with liquid nitrous oxide. which turns into a gas. The balloon expands and cools the plaque as it opens up the blockage.

Step 3
Once the blood vessel is opened the gas is released and the balloon is deflated and removed.
