I'm feeling a bit anxious about an angiography procedure I'm considering. Could you tell me what risks are involved? Are there any serious complications I should be aware of? Also, what's the cost estimate for undergoing this procedure?

Angiography is generally a safe procedure, but like any medical procedure, it carries some risks. Some potential risks and serious complications of angiography include: - Allergic reaction to the contrast dye used - Bleeding or hematoma at the catheter insertion site - Blood vessel damage or dissection - Blood clots - Stroke or heart attack - Kidney damage from the contrast dye The cost estimate of angiography can vary depending on the location, healthcare provider, and whether it is done on an outpatient or inpatient basis. On average, the cost of angiography can range from $500 to $5000 or more. If you are prescribed angiography, make sure to discuss the risks and benefits with your healthcare provider to make an informed decision.
