Angiogram Cost in Manipal Hospital (2026) - Price & Details

Angiogram vs Angiography — What's the Difference, and What Are You Actually Paying For?

Patients often use "angiogram" and "angiography" interchangeably, and for practical purposes this is fine. Technically, angiography is the procedure (the imaging technique using X-rays and contrast dye to visualise blood vessels), and an angiogram is the image produced by that procedure. When your cardiologist says "you need an angiogram," they mean you need angiography performed.

What matters more than terminology is understanding the difference between an invasive (catheter-based) coronary angiogram and a non-invasive CT coronary angiography because these are clinically and financially very different:

Feature

Invasive Coronary Angiogram (Cath Lab)

CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA)

 

Procedure type

Invasive — catheter inserted via groin or wrist

Non-invasive — contrast dye via arm vein + CT scanner

Setting

Cardiac Catheterisation Lab (Cath Lab)

Radiology / CT Scan suite

Anaesthesia

Local anaesthesia (adults); general for children

No anaesthesia required

Duration

15–30 minutes (procedure); 4–6 hrs observation

15–30 minutes total

Manipal cost (Bangalore)

₹20,000–₹35,000

₹9,000–₹15,000

Treatment possible same session

Yes — stent / angioplasty can be done immediately

No — only diagnostic

Gold standard for

Definitive CAD diagnosis; pre-CABG workup

Screening; ruling out significant CAD

Radiation exposure

Yes (X-ray fluoroscopy)

Yes (CT radiation, lower dose)

Important: If your cardiologist has ordered a coronary angiogram after a positive TMT (stress test) or ECHO showing wall motion abnormalities, they almost certainly mean the invasive catheter-based angiogram in the Cath Lab — not the CT version. CT angiography is typically for patients with atypical chest pain or low-to-intermediate CAD risk who need a non-invasive screen. Confirm which type has been ordered before booking.

Types of Angiography Available at Manipal Hospital

The Manipal Heart Institute and its interventional cardiology and radiology teams perform the full spectrum of angiography studies. Understanding which type you have been referred for determines both the cost and the right unit to visit.

  1. Coronary Angiogram | Catheter-based · Gold Standard
    ₹20,000 – ₹35,000
    The definitive diagnostic test for coronary artery disease (CAD). A catheter is guided via the radial (wrist) or femoral (groin) artery to the coronary arteries. Contrast dye is injected, and real-time X-ray images reveal blockages. Performed in the Cath Lab by an interventional cardiologist. Stenting can be done during the same session if needed.
  2. CT Coronary Angiography (CTCA) | Non-invasive · 64-Slice CT
    ₹9,000 – ₹15,000
    A non-invasive alternative to catheter angiogram for lower-risk patients. Uses a 64-slice or higher CT scanner with IV contrast to produce high-resolution 3D images of the coronary arteries. Can detect calcium scoring and plaque, but cannot facilitate treatment in the same session. Available at all major Manipal units with CT infrastructure.
  3. Peripheral Angiogram | Catheter · Vascular
    ₹15,000 – ₹30,000
    Evaluates blood flow in the arteries of the legs, arms, and pelvis. Used to diagnose peripheral artery disease (PAD), claudication, and limb ischaemia. Manipal's Cardiology and Vascular Surgery teams perform peripheral angiogram and angioplasty as a combined procedure where needed.
  4. Cerebral Angiography (DSA) | Digital Subtraction · Neurovascular
    ₹20,000 – ₹45,000
    Digital Subtraction Angiography (DSA) of the brain and neck vessels. Evaluates aneurysms, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs), carotid artery stenosis, and stroke workup. Performed by neuroradiologists. Available at Old Airport Road Bangalore and Kolkata EM Bypass.
  5. Renal Angiography | Catheter · Nephro-Vascular
    ₹15,000 – ₹28,000
    Examines the renal arteries for stenosis (narrowing), which is a common cause of resistant hypertension. Performed by interventional radiologists, often combined with renal angioplasty if a stenosis is found. Available at major Manipal units with Nephrology Centres of Excellence.
  6. Pulmonary Angiography | Catheter · Pulmonary Vascular
    ₹18,000 – ₹35,000
    Evaluates the pulmonary arterial tree — primarily used to diagnose pulmonary embolism (PE) or pulmonary hypertension when CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA, ₹8,000–₹16,000) is inconclusive. CTPA is the far more common first-line option.
  7. CT Pulmonary Angiography (CTPA) | Non-invasive · Emergency Use
    ₹8,000 – ₹16,000
    The primary diagnostic test for suspected pulmonary embolism. Fast, non-invasive, and highly sensitive. Uses IV contrast with CT scanning. Available at all major Manipal Hospital units on an emergency basis — 24×7 at flagship units.
  8. Fluorescein Angiography (Eye) | Ophthalmology · Retinal
    ₹3,000 – ₹8,000
    An entirely different procedure from cardiac/vascular angiography. Fluorescein dye is injected intravenously and retinal photographs are taken to evaluate blood flow in the retinal vessels. Used for diabetic retinopathy, macular degeneration, and retinal vascular disease. Available at Manipal units with Ophthalmology departments.

* Price ranges are market benchmarks for NABH-accredited private tertiary hospitals in India. They are not published tariffs from Manipal Hospitals. Always confirm pricing with the relevant unit before booking.

Angiogram Cost at Manipal Hospital, Bangalore — Verified Pricing

The most precise pricing data available for the angiogram cost at Manipal Hospital Bangalore comes from HexaHealth's own patient cost database, which is updated based on actual procedures at Manipal units. Here is what we know:

HexaHealth Verified · Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road, Bangalore

Coronary Angiography (Invasive, Cath Lab)

₹20,000 – ₹35,000

Average price: approximately ₹27,500 · Includes: procedure cost + pre-procedure evaluation + contrast dye + Cath Lab charges + cardiologist fee

Source: HexaHealth Coronary Angiography Cost Bangalore 
Note: stenting or angioplasty performed at the same session is billed additionally

This ₹20,000–₹35,000 range reflects the procedure itself at the Old Airport Road unit. The variation within this range is driven by the complexity of the study (simple 2-vessel vs complex Left Main or CTO workup), the interventional cardiologist's seniority, and whether the procedure is elective outpatient vs admitted inpatient. Additional pre-procedure diagnostics — ECG, blood tests, ECHO if not already done — are charged separately.

For Goa patients: The Manipal Goa cardiac team serves patients from across Goa, coastal Karnataka, and northern Kerala. If you are from outside Panjim, confirm travelling time and whether your angiogram will be same-day discharge or require an overnight stay — Manipal Goa can typically discharge stable patients who have had a diagnostic-only angiogram by evening. HexaHealth can coordinate pre-admission logistics including travel and accommodation for patients coming from distant locations.


What Determines the Final Angiography Cost at Manipal Hospital

The ₹20,000–₹35,000 range for a coronary angiogram at Manipal is a diagnostic procedure cost only. The true total expenditure a patient faces depends on several additional variables that are frequently underestimated:

  1. Diagnostic vs Therapeutic in Same Session: The most significant cost driver. If your angiogram shows a significant blockage and your cardiologist decides to proceed with angioplasty and stenting immediately (which is common — doing it all in one session is clinically preferable), the cost can jump to ₹80,000–₹2,50,000+ depending on the number of stents and their type. This should be anticipated and discussed with your cardiologist before the procedure.
  2. Inpatient vs Day Care: A diagnostic-only coronary angiogram at Manipal can often be performed as a day-care procedure with observation for 4–6 hours before discharge. If you are admitted for an elective angiogram after an acute event (chest pain, heart attack), inpatient room charges, CCU charges, and nursing fees add to the bill. An overnight stay in a private room at Manipal costs ₹6,000–₹12,000 per day.
  3. Stent Type and NPPA Regulation: If angioplasty is performed, the stent is a significant cost component. Drug-eluting stents (DES) — the gold standard — are price-capped by NPPA. Bioresorbable stents (BVS) and specially coated stents may cost more. Manipal Hospitals publishes its cardiac stent pricing on the official tariff page. HexaHealth can provide this list to patients before they commit.
  4. Interventional Cardiologist Seniority: Standard angiograms are performed by consultants; complex cases (CTO, left main, multi-vessel) require senior interventional cardiologists like Dr. Ranjan Shetty at Old Airport Road. Senior specialist fees are higher — typically ₹3,000–₹8,000 more than a junior consultant. For complex cases, this cost difference is clinically justified.
  5. Pre-Procedure Workup: Before a Cath Lab angiogram, Manipal requires blood tests (CBC, coagulation, kidney function), ECG, and often a recent ECHO. If you have not had these done, expect an additional ₹3,000–₹8,000 in diagnostic charges on the day. Patients who come with all recent pre-procedure tests already completed avoid this add-on cost.
  6. Insurance Coverage: Most health insurance policies cover coronary angiography as a medically necessary procedure, especially when performed following an acute cardiac event. Cashless processing is available at most Manipal units. However, standalone outpatient diagnostic angiograms may require pre-authorisation or have a sub-limit. HexaHealth's team handles the TPA paperwork to ensure smooth cashless processing.

What Happens After a Manipal Hospital Angiogram — The Pathway to Treatment

The angiogram result determines everything that follows. Manipal's Cath Lab teams follow well-established post-angiogram decision pathways:

Medical management — medications adjusted; lifestyle intervention

Nil (beyond angiogram cost)

Single vessel disease (50–90% stenosis)

Angioplasty + Drug-Eluting Stent (same session)

₹60,000 – ₹1,50,000 add-on

Multi-vessel disease or Left Main disease

Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG) — typically not done in same Cath Lab session

₹3,00,000 – ₹6,00,000 (CABG surgery)

100% blockage (CTO — Chronic Total Occlusion)

Complex CTO angioplasty (rota ablation technique at Old Airport Road) or CABG depending on case

₹1,50,000 – ₹4,00,000 add-on

Severe aortic stenosis identified

TAVI (Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation) at Goa, Bangalore, Kolkata units

₹5,00,000 – ₹10,00,000

₹80,000 – ₹1,50,000

Congenital defect (ASD, VSD, PDA)

Device closure procedure in Cath Lab — available at Old Airport Road, Kolkata, and Goa

₹1,20,000 – ₹2,50,000

HexaHealth's cardiac team helps patients understand exactly what the angiogram result means for their treatment pathway — and what each option costs with and without insurance — before they make a decision.

How to Prepare for Your Angiogram at Manipal Hospital


  • Fast for 4–6 hours before the procedure. Clear liquids may be permitted up to 2 hours prior for most patients — confirm with the Cath Lab team at the time of booking. Diabetes patients on insulin or oral hypoglycaemics need specific instructions about medication on the day of the procedure.

  • Disclose all medications at registration. Blood thinners (warfarin, clopidogrel, rivaroxaban, apixaban) may need to be paused 3–7 days before the angiogram to reduce bleeding risk at the catheter insertion site. Do not stop these medications without cardiologist instruction.

  • Disclose any contrast dye allergy. The angiography contrast agent contains iodine. Patients with shellfish allergy, prior contrast reactions, or asthma are at higher risk of contrast reactions. Manipal screens for this before every procedure and can pre-medicate at-risk patients with antihistamines and steroids.

  • Disclose kidney disease. Contrast dye is cleared by the kidneys. Patients with CKD (elevated creatinine) are at risk of contrast-induced nephropathy. Manipal checks kidney function before every angiogram and adjusts the contrast volume and hydration protocol accordingly.

  • Bring a companion. You will not be permitted to drive home after a Cath Lab angiogram. A 4–6 hour observation period is standard before discharge. Arrange for someone to accompany you.

  • Wear comfortable clothing. You will change into a hospital gown. Avoid tight waistbands, jewellery around the groin or wrist (catheter entry sites), and nail polish (pulse oximeter readings).

  • Bring all previous cardiac reports. ECGs, ECHO reports, TMT results, and any previous angiogram images (on CD if available) are essential context for the interventional cardiologist planning your procedure.

  • Confirm insurance pre-authorisation in advance. If your procedure is being paid through health insurance, pre-authorisation from your TPA is typically required before elective Cath Lab admission. HexaHealth manages this process for patients — avoiding day-of-procedure insurance complications.

Insurance Coverage for Angiogram Cost at Manipal Hospital (2026)

Health insurance coverage for angiogram cost at Manipal Hospital depends on your policy terms and the clinical indication for the procedure. Since an angiogram is a cardiac diagnostic procedure often linked to hospital admission, it is more commonly covered compared to routine outpatient tests. However, the extent of coverage varies across insurance plans.

Choosing a Manipal Hospital unit that is empanelled with your insurer can significantly improve your chances of availing cashless treatment and reducing out-of-pocket expenses.

Is Angiogram Covered Under Insurance at Manipal Hospital?

Most health insurance policies do cover angiogram procedures, especially when:

  • The procedure is medically necessary and prescribed by a cardiologist

  • It is performed as part of inpatient hospitalisation

  • It is linked to pre- or post-treatment for heart conditions

However:

  • Some policies may have waiting periods for cardiac conditions

  • There may be co-payments or deductibles

  • Coverage limits depend on your sum insured and policy terms

At HexaHealth, we help patients understand their insurance coverage and aim to secure maximum eligible cashless approval or reimbursement for angiogram procedures at Manipal Hospital.

For patients without insurance, HexaHealth also provides support with medical loans and no-cost EMI options.

List of Insurance Providers Covering Angiogram at Manipal Hospital

Angiogram procedures at Manipal Hospital may be covered under several insurance providers, depending on your policy. Common insurers include:

  • The United Insurance

  • Acko General Insurance

  • SBI General Insurance

  • Bajaj Allianz

  • Liberty General Insurance

  • The New India Assurance

  • National Insurance

  • TATA AIG Insurance

  • Go Digit General Insurance

  • Star Health Insurance

  • Reliance General Insurance

  • HDFC ERGO Health Insurance

  • Niva Bupa Health Insurance

Note: Coverage varies by individual policy, cardiac waiting periods, and hospital empanelment status. Always confirm details before proceeding.

Cashless Angiogram at Manipal Hospital

Cashless treatment for angiogram is widely available at Manipal Hospital units, especially because it is typically performed as an inpatient or day-care cardiac procedure.

With a cashless facility:

  • The hospital bills are settled directly with your insurer

  • You do not need to pay the full amount upfront

  • Only non-covered charges (if any) are paid by you

HexaHealth supports patients by:

  • Coordinating with Manipal Hospital and insurance providers

  • Assisting in pre-authorisation approvals

  • Managing documentation and claim processing

This ensures a smooth, stress-free experience, allowing you to focus on timely cardiac care rather than financial concerns

How to Book an Angiogram at Manipal Hospital

Booking an angiogram (coronary angiography) is a structured process to ensure your heart is healthy enough for the procedure and that all diagnostic requirements are met. Follow these steps for a seamless experience:

1. Get a Cardiologist's Referral

Unlike a routine blood test, an invasive angiogram requires a formal recommendation from an Interventional Cardiologist.

  • Initial Consultation: Book an OPD appointment with a cardiologist at Manipal. They will review your symptoms (like chest pain or breathlessness) and existing reports (ECG, ECHO, or TMT).

  • Clinical Decision: If your non-invasive tests show significant abnormalities, the doctor will issue a "Case Summary" or "Advice Note" for a Coronary Angiogram.

2. Choose Your Unit Based on Procedure Complexity

While all Manipal multi-specialty units have Cath Labs, your choice should depend on the expected outcome:

  • For Standard Diagnosis: Any Manipal unit with a cardiology department (e.g., Mukundapur in Kolkata or Hebbal in Bangalore) is suitable.

  • For High-Risk Cases: If you have multiple comorbidities (diabetes, kidney issues) or suspected complex blockages, choose a flagship hub like Old Airport Road (Bangalore),Dwarka (Delhi), or Dhakuria (Kolkata), which offer 24/7 surgical backup and advanced imaging like IVUS.

3. Confirm the Total Cost & Insurance Coverage

Before the procedure, visit the hospital’s Billing or TPA Desk with your doctor's advice note.

  • Cost Components: The quote usually includes the Cath Lab charges, cardiologist's fee, and basic consumables.

  • Insurance/Cashless: Angiograms are typically covered as day-care procedures. Submit your policy details early to get a "Pre-Authorization" from your insurance provider to avoid last-minute delays.

4. Book Your Procedure Slot

Once cleared by the doctor and the billing department, schedule your slot at the Cath Lab Coordination Desk.

  • Day Care vs. Admission: Most angiograms are done as day-care (8–10 hours stay). However, if your doctor plans a "SIT" (Stay-In-Triage) or if an angioplasty (stenting) might follow immediately, you may need to book a room for an overnight stay.

5. Follow Preparation Instructions Carefully

To ensure safety and high-quality imaging, you must adhere to the hospital's pre-op checklist:

  • Fasting: You will likely be asked to remain NPO (Nothing per Oral) for 4–6 hours before the test.

  • Medication Adjustment: You must inform the doctor about any blood thinners (like Warfarin) or diabetes medications (like Metformin), as these may need to be paused.

  • Kidney Health: Since a contrast dye is used, you must carry a recent Serum Creatinine report to ensure your kidneys can safely process the dye.

HexaHealth tip: Always bring a family member or friend with you. Even though it is a minor procedure, you will be given a mild sedative and cannot drive yourself home for at least 12–24 hours following the test.

Why Choose Manipal Hospital for an Angiogram?

Choosing Manipal Hospital for an angiogram ensures access to one of India’s most advanced cardiac networks. Whether you are looking for a routine diagnostic check or an emergency intervention, Manipal's infrastructure is designed for high-precision outcomes.

Here is why Manipal Hospital is a preferred choice for an angiogram:

1. Advanced Radial & Femoral Expertise

Manipal’s interventional cardiologists are experts in both Radial (wrist) and Femoral (groin) approaches.

  • Preferred Radial Approach: They prioritize the radial route whenever possible, which offers faster recovery, less bleeding, and higher patient comfort compared to the traditional femoral method.

2. High-Precision Cath Labs

The hospital units are equipped with state-of-the-art Digital Catheterization Labs (Cath Labs).

  • NIRS-IVUS Technology: They use advanced imaging like Near-Infrared Spectroscopy combined with Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) to identify high-risk blockages that might be missed on standard X-ray angiograms.

  • 24/7 Emergency Response: Catheterization facilities are available round-the-clock for emergency "Primary Angioplasty," critical for saving heart muscle during an active heart attack.

3. Non-Invasive Options (CCTA)

For patients who want to avoid a hospital stay or needles, Manipal offers Coronary CT Angiograms (CCTA).

  • Using 128-slice or 256-slice MDCT scanners, they can create a 3D roadmap of your heart's blood vessels in just seconds without any invasive catheter insertion.

4. Comprehensive Calcium Management

If an angiogram reveals severely hardened (calcified) blockages, Manipal units are equipped with advanced "calcium modification" tools to prepare the artery for a stent:

  • Rotablation: A tiny rotating burr to drill through hard calcium.

  • IVL (Shockwave Therapy): Using sonic pressure waves to crack hardened deposits, a safer option for elderly patients.

5. Multidisciplinary Cardiac Team

The "Heart Team" approach ensures that if an angiogram reveals a complex condition, you have immediate access to:

  • Interventional Cardiologists for stenting.

  • CTVS Surgeons for bypass surgery (CABG) if required.

  • Cardiac Rehabilitators for post-procedure recovery.

HexaHealth tip: If you are undergoing an angiogram as a preventive measure due to family history, ask about the Coronary CT Angiogram (CCTA) at the Old Airport Road (Bangalore),Dwarka (Delhi), or Baner (Pune) units. These hubs have the highest-resolution scanners in the network.

Frequently Asked Questions

Based on HexaHealth's own verified pricing data, the coronary angiogram cost at Manipal Hospital Old Airport Road Bangalore is ₹20,000–₹35,000, with an average of approximately ₹27,500. This covers the Cath Lab procedure, contrast dye, interventional cardiologist fee, and post-procedure observation.

Pre-procedure diagnostics (blood tests, ECG, ECHO if required) are charged additionally — typically ₹3,000–₹8,000 if not already completed. CT coronary angiography (non-invasive) costs ₹9,000–₹15,000 at Bangalore Manipal units.

Yes — coronary angiography is generally covered by comprehensive health insurance policies in India, particularly when it is medically indicated following chest pain, a positive stress test, or an acute cardiac event. Most Manipal Hospital units across Bangalore, Kolkata, Pune, and Goa are empanelled with major TPAs for cashless processing.

However, there are two scenarios where insurance may not cover the full cost: standalone outpatient diagnostic angiograms without hospitalisation (some policies require a minimum 24-hour admission), and angiograms performed as part of a package plan that has its own sub-limits. HexaHealth handles TPA pre-authorisation and cashless processing for patients — call 8035240555 to check your specific policy's coverage before your procedure.

This is the most important cost question — and the one most patients underestimate. If your angiogram reveals a significant blockage and the cardiologist proceeds with angioplasty and stent placement in the same Cath Lab session, the total bill increases substantially.

A single drug-eluting stent (DES) adds approximately ₹60,000–₹1,50,000 to the angiogram cost, depending on stent brand and type. The stent price itself is NPPA-regulated (Manipal publishes this on its tariff page). Multiple stents or complex bifurcation stenting increases this further. With one stent and a smooth procedure, expect a total bill in the range of ₹80,000–₹1,75,000 at a Bangalore Manipal unit. HexaHealth provides a full cost estimate specific to your clinical situation before admission.

Broadly yes. The angiography cost at Manipal Hospital Pune (Kharadi unit) ranges from approximately ₹15,000–₹37,000 for coronary angiography. Pune prices tend to track 10–15% below Bangalore central unit rates for comparable procedures, though the gap narrows when the same interventional cardiologist seniority is involved. HexaHealth's Pune city page has city-specific pricing from Manipal Kharadi for verified reference.

The angiography cost at Manipal Hospital Goa is estimated at ₹15,000–₹28,000 for a standard diagnostic coronary angiogram. Goa city pricing is generally slightly below metropolitan rates while maintaining full Cath Lab capability, including FFR and IVUS for advanced lesion assessment. For complex structural procedures (TAVI, LAA closure), the costs are comparable to the flagship units. Patients from Northern Goa or Southern Goa can typically access the Panjim unit for day-care angiograms, with same-day discharge in most stable, diagnostic-only cases. HexaHealth can confirm the current rate and coordinate your booking.

Coronary angiography at Manipal is performed under local anaesthesia — the only discomfort is a brief sting at the catheter insertion site (wrist or groin) as the local anaesthetic is administered. Once the catheter is in, you should feel nothing beyond mild pressure. You may feel a brief warm sensation or flushing when the contrast dye is injected — this is normal and passes quickly. The procedure itself typically takes 15–30 minutes.

You will be awake throughout but may be given a mild sedative if you are anxious. Post-procedure, the catheter site is compressed for haemostasis, and you will observe for 4–6 hours before discharge. Bruising at the entry site can persist for up to 2 weeks — this is expected.

An angiogram is purely diagnostic — it reveals whether blockages exist and how severe they are, but treats nothing. An angioplasty is the treatment — a balloon is inflated inside a blocked coronary artery to open it, usually followed by stent placement to keep it open. The confusion arises because both are performed in the Cath Lab using essentially the same catheter-based approach, and because the decision to proceed from an angiogram to an angioplasty can happen within the same 30-minute session.

When patients say "I'm getting angioplasty done," they often mean they are getting an angiogram that may lead to angioplasty. Clarifying this distinction matters financially — the costs are very different.

The procedure itself is 15–30 minutes at Manipal Hospitals for a routine coronary angiogram. Complex multi-vessel or bifurcation interventions take longer — 60–90 minutes. Post-procedure, you will be observed in the recovery area for 4–6 hours while the catheter entry site is checked for haemostasis. Most patients who had a diagnostic-only angiogram (no stenting) are discharged the same evening. Patients who had stenting are typically kept overnight. You will be discharged with medication instructions, and a follow-up appointment with your interventional cardiologist is usually scheduled within 1–2 weeks.

Sometimes yes, sometimes no — it depends on what your cardiologist is trying to answer. CT coronary angiography (CTCA) is appropriate for screening in lower-to-intermediate risk patients with atypical symptoms where a non-invasive answer is sufficient. It costs ₹9,000–₹15,000 at Manipal vs ₹20,000–₹35,000 for Cath Lab. However, if your cardiologist has ordered the invasive angiogram after a positive TMT or acute event, there is a clinical reason: only the Cath Lab version allows treatment in the same session. Substituting CTCA at that stage delays potentially necessary intervention. This decision must be made by your cardiologist — not based on cost alone.

When an angiogram at Manipal reveals multi-vessel disease, Left Main stenosis, or complex anatomy where stenting is technically difficult or will have worse long-term outcomes, the cardiologist and cardiac surgeon together may recommend CABG (Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting). Unlike angioplasty, which is done in the Cath Lab without opening the chest, CABG is open-heart surgery performed by a cardiac surgeon — it is a separate procedure, scheduled on a different day after the angiogram.

At Manipal Hospitals, the Cath Lab interventional cardiologist and the cardiothoracic surgeon work in multidisciplinary teams to make this recommendation, which is reviewed in what Manipal calls a "Heart Team" meeting. HexaHealth can help you understand the CABG recommendation, get a second opinion if needed, and plan for the financial aspects of bypass surgery.
