A member asked:
It has been 8 months after angioplasty is it necessary to have to have 2nd angiogram to check how the arteries are now.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: Angiograms are NOT done routinely post angioplasty or stents. Only symptoms and/or abnormal stress tests define need for angiograms
