HiMy Father is having Heart problem and the cardialogist has advised from Angiogram. Based on the results he said that my father may have to undergo angioplasty or open heart surgery. My father is daibetic and is 70 yrs old. My question is when do they suggest Angioplasty and when to they suggest Open heart surgery? Wil the age matter ? How much would it cost of Angioplasty / Open Heart surgery ?
Hi Their understand your concern for your fathers health and I would like to tell you that yes age matters a lot as well the complexity of the disease matters. Like if after angiogram is your father got to have a double vessel disease or Triple vessel disease then most likely By pass surgery will be advised and will be beneficial also. Cost varies according to the severity of the disease. Roughly I will range from 2lac to 5 lack depending upon which procedure will be opted. I wish him good health
