Coronary angiography, CT coronary angiography, and angioplasty serve different purposes. Understanding these differences helps patients identify the correct hospital charges.
Procedure | Purpose | Technique | Can treat blockages? |
|---|---|---|---|
Coronary angiography (CAG) | Identifies coronary artery narrowing | Catheter and X-ray imaging | No |
CT coronary angiography (CTCA) | Examines coronary arteries | CT scanner and intravenous contrast | No |
Opens narrowed coronary arteries | Balloon catheter, sometimes with stenting | Yes |
Catheter-based angiography may be followed immediately by angioplasty when appropriate. CT coronary angiography cannot treat coronary artery blockages.
The cardiologist recommends the procedure based on clinical findings.
CT coronary angiography uses computed tomography to examine coronary arteries. Contrast dye is injected through a vein.
RN Tagore Hospital charges ₹11,050 for 64-slice CT coronary angiography. Its separate contrast-specific tariff entry costs ₹13,510.

256-slice CT coronary angiography | ₹12,250 | ₹12,250 |
256-slice CT coronary angiography with contrast | ₹14,710 | ₹14,710 |
These are outpatient charges. Confirm the prescribed scan and applicable contrast charges.
Narayana Multispeciality Hospital, Howrah, has a separate CT angiography tariff. Its 64-slice CT coronary angiography charge is ₹11,785.
This hospital differs from Narayana Superspeciality Hospital, Howrah. Their charges should not be combined when comparing packages.
Angioplasty opens narrowed coronary arteries using a balloon catheter. A stent may help maintain blood flow through the artery. The procedure can follow angiography during the same catheterisation session. The cardiologist determines whether immediate treatment is appropriate.

Cardiologists recommend coronary angiography when coronary artery disease requires further assessment.
Common indications include:
Persistent chest pain: Symptoms continue despite prescribed medical treatment.
Abnormal stress test: Results suggest significant coronary artery disease.
Heart attack: Emergency angiography may identify the affected coronary artery.
Suspected coronary blockages: Clinical findings indicate significant arterial narrowing.
Treatment planning: Imaging helps determine angioplasty or bypass surgery requirements.
The cardiologist evaluates symptoms, investigations, and overall clinical condition.
Coronary angiography takes place inside a cardiac catheterisation laboratory.
Pre-procedure assessment: The team reviews medicines, allergies, and kidney function
Local anaesthesia: The doctor numbs the wrist or groin
Catheter insertion: A thin catheter enters the selected artery
Contrast injection: Contrast dye makes coronary arteries visible
X-ray imaging: The cardiologist identifies coronary narrowing or blockages
Post-procedure monitoring: Staff check bleeding, circulation, and vital signs
The cardiologist discusses treatment options after reviewing the angiogram.
Standalone angiography may allow discharge on the same day. The care team determines discharge after monitoring the access site.
Patients should follow these recovery instructions:
Access-site care: Keep the catheter insertion area clean and dry
Physical activity: Avoid strenuous exercise until medically cleared
Medicines: Continue prescribed treatment according to discharge instructions
Hydration: Follow the doctor's fluid intake recommendations
Follow-up: Discuss angiography findings and subsequent treatment
Persistent bleeding requires immediate medical attention. Severe chest pain or breathlessness requires emergency assessment.
Patients can consult interventional cardiologists at Mukundapur or Howrah. The specialist evaluates coronary symptoms and previous cardiac investigations.
