Why is a fluoroscope used during angioplasty procedures?

During angioplasty procedures a fluoroscope is used to provide real-time imaging of the blood vessels and help guide the insertion and placement of medical instruments. It is a specialized X-ray imaging technique that allows for continuous and dynamic visualization of the blood flow and the deployment of balloons, stents, or other devices. The fluoroscopic images aid the interventional cardiologist in accurately navigating through the blood vessels and performing precise manipulations.
