Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, angioplasty will definitely work in your case.
Your symptoms are classical of coronary artery disease (CAD) which is confirmed by angiography.
You are having blockage only in 1 artery (single vessel disease).
So angioplasty with stenting is treatment of choice for this.
Stent will remove the blockage and keep it open so that blood supply through artery is patent.
So get done angioplasty, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
