Already chosen your interventional cardiologist in Mumbai or Navi Mumbai to review your proposed heart stent procedure (coronary angioplasty / pci)?

Understand the procedure
What is heart stent procedure (coronary angioplasty / pci)?
Coronary angioplasty widens a narrowed heart artery using a balloon passed through a thin tube called a catheter. A stent is commonly placed to help keep the artery open. PCI is the medical term for this treatment.
This is general procedure information. Your chosen doctor assesses what applies to you.

Questions for your chosen doctor
Choose the questions that matter to your situation. We record them in your own words and take them to the consultation.
- Which artery is causing concern, and how does the angiogram support the need for PCI?
- Would medicines or bypass surgery be reasonable options in my situation?
- What type and number of stents are proposed, and are any blockages particularly complex?
- What antiplatelet treatment and follow-up would I need after the procedure?
Your existing case file
Records to organise
We organise the coronary angiogram report and images or video alongside your treatment history and the written procedure recommendation. We note what you want the interventional cardiologist to clarify and keep the original reports available for the consultation.
Share the records you already have. This is a document checklist, not a request for new tests.
Bring together what is available
- Coronary angiogram report and images or video
- Available ECG, echocardiogram and relevant blood reports
- Previous stent or bypass operation records

- Your written procedure recommendation, current prescriptions and allergy details
