How long does the percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty take?

Until done.: The time varies by the ease of vascular access, the quality of the vessels, the lenght and diameter of the lesion and until revascularization goal is accomplished. This may take a few minutes to several hours. Talk to your cardiologist.
