Every medical procedure carries risks. We believe in complete transparency so you can make a fully informed decision about your Angioplasty journey.
Access-site bleeding is the most common risk; infection is rare in accredited hospitals.
Mild access-site discomfort or swelling may occur temporarily after the procedure.
Delayed healing is uncommon but may occur in patients with diabetes or vascular disease.
Rare complications include artery re-narrowing, stent thrombosis, or arrhythmias.
Dual antiplatelet therapy may increase bleeding risk and requires careful adherence and monitoring.
The right choice depends on your specific situation. Here's a clear guide to help you decide which destination aligns with your needs.
Patients with significant coronary artery blockage causing chest pain, breathlessness, or heart attack risk who require minimally invasive stent placement. Ideal for individuals seeking faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, and effective restoration of blood flow without open-heart surgery.
