Hi sir, my grandpa is 93 years old. cardiologist suggest angioplasty to rule-out angina. is his age suitable for this procedure??. we live in karachi,
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Angioplasty: Whether he is suitable to undergo an angioplasty depends mostly on his health and how mobile and able he is. If he is fairly well, then it may be a good idea to go ahead with the angioplasty. If he is rather feeble, then I would say he should not. Good luck either way.
