hi...I am shradha...Mmy uncle is a diabetic and recently got a heart attack.. according to the angiography reports 2 arteries have 90% blockage, 1 has 75% blockage & 1 has 50%. Doctor has suggested angioplasty. Is there a substitue to angioplasty? I have just heard about angipriom.. is it available in India. If there is no option for angioplasty can you suggest any good doctors in nashik for the same.
Hi angioplasty is much safer procedure as compared to coronary by pass surgery. Angioplasty involves the use of stents to open clot, while by pass involve the opening of complete sternum. More than 75% blockages should not be managed medically and should be treated with intervention. As your father has double vessel disease Chat Doctor. It's better to go to Mumbai, Breach candy hospital has an excellent cardiology unit.
