What is a Coronary Angiography and Angioplasty?
Coronary angiography is usually not painful as a local anaesthetic is applied to numb the area. You may feel some pressure during the procedure, but it is generally well-tolerated.
The procedure typically takes between 15 to 30 minutes. However, if an intervention such as angioplasty is needed, it may take longer.
Most patients are able to go home the same day, but you may need to rest for 24 to 48 hours depending on the access site used and whether any complications occur.
