Hi:
I am going to have an angiogram and probably either an angioplasty or a stent. I understand that they are risky. My doc said that he has done more than 4000 angiograms and 1500 angioplastys. How risky is this procedure. He put me on Norvasc for a month and then we will do the procedure. He further said that by my symptoms and viewing the pictures from the Thallium stress test that the blockage does not seem to be severe.
Thanks,
Joe
