Planning angioplasty and after-care
The need for angioplasty depends on symptoms, angiography findings, heart function and the overall clinical situation. The benefits, alternatives and risks should be discussed with the treating cardiologist.
Before a planned procedure, medicines, kidney function, allergies and bleeding risk are reviewed. After angioplasty, taking prescribed antiplatelet medicines and attending follow-up appointments is particularly important.
Waqas Medical Complex provides interventional cardiology consultation, procedure planning and post-procedure follow-up. Confirm the procedure hospital and timing when booking.
Common reasons to book

Before your appointment
Do not stop blood thinners or other cardiac medicines without instructions from your doctor. Bring the angiography report and procedure records to follow-up visits.
