by Shekhar17, Aug 06, 2008 02:53AM
Recently my Dad aged 66 yrs suffered with angina pain.Docs suggested some test and after the angiography they suggetsed to go for angioplasty after finding Mid-CAD 80% blockage.
Wanted to ask should I go for angioplasty for it or can it be cured by medicines itself?
Is there any after effects of angioplasty?
Please suggest its urgent...thanks in advance.

Please know that angioplasty has its own complications sometimes during the procedure and sometimes after the procedure. Reblocking of stent is very common in 25% patients.
Some blockages can be managed by proper medicines, diet and exercise. Consult a good doctor, if you are able to get one. Some doctors prefer treatment by medicines rather than angioplasty.
Wish you good luck.
