A member asked:

How long does it take for a doctor to do an angioplasty?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Varies: Angioplasty's can be performed on any artery in the body. Certain areas are easier to access and treat than others. Certain blockages or problems are also more easily treated than others. Some of the shortest angioplasty cases may last only minutes while others may last several hours.
