Yes, if you do the follow up work as prescribed.
Absolutely!
For most people, an angioplasty is an outpatient procedure. There are usually some restrictions for the immediate post-procedure period of time. However, if there are not any complications or additional procedures done during the angioplasty (i.e. stent placement), then a person can live a normal life. (This, of course, depends of the health of the person prior to the angioplasty.)
