Is angiography required to be done immediately after angioplasty?
Patient: my mother in law had a Angioplasty surgery done yesterday night.. now tommorow morning again  we have been told a angiography will be done. A angiography was done before the operation yesterday. Then is it neccesary to do it again immediately after the angioplasty surgery Doctor: Hello I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.Routinely angiography is not needed after angioplasty .But under special circumstances when primary angioplasty is done in critical situation then only one needs either check angio or to tackle remaining blocks.My best wishes Dr.Rajesh Teli,MD.
