Answer to Question 1

The suffix in both words is -plasty, which means process of reshaping by surgery. Both angioplasty and valvuloplasty involve a process of reshaping by surgery. The difference is that an angioplasty reshapes a blood vessel and vavuloplasty reshapes a valve.

Answer to Question 2

TRUE
