Will I be asleep during angioplasty procedure?
During an angioplasty procedure, you will typically not be completely asleep, but you will be under a form of anesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Is it painful to have?
The area where the catheter is inserted (usually the groin or arm) will be numbed with local anesthesia. You might feel a brief needle prick or a sensation of pressure, but the area will be numb, so you shouldnโt experience significant pain.
Do I need confinement in the hospital?
Yes, hospitalization is generally required for an angioplasty procedure, but the length of stay can vary based on individual status. The doctor may also perform other tests or monitor you.
How long is the surgery procedure for angioplasty?
It will typically last for 30 minutes up to 2 hours according to NYP.
One of our friends had the procedure at Philippine Heart Center and his total bill was Php 189,000. It is more expensive because other tests and monitoring were done before his release from the hospital.
