I'm really concerned because my friend just had angiography and then angioplasty three days later. Now, due to complications, another angiography and possibly angioplasty are needed just three weeks after the first. Are there any risks with having these procedures so frequently?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Frequent angiography and angioplasty procedures can carry certain risks, such as increased chances of bleeding, infection, damage to blood vessels, and allergic reactions to contrast dye. Additionally, there is a risk of developing blood clots at the site of the procedure. To help reduce these risks, your friend's healthcare provider may prescribe medications such as Aspirin and Clopidogrel to prevent blood clots, as well as medications like Atorvastatin to manage cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of further complications. It is important for your friend to follow the prescribed medication regimen and attend all follow-up appointments to monitor for any potential complications.
