Getting a successful angiography surgery in India Getting a successful angiography in India has become very easy for heart patients now days because India has one of the best qualified heart surgey professionals at cardiac surgery hospitals of Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai and this fact has now been realized all over. Regarding medical facilities India has the most competent doctors and world class medical facilities. Getting angiography is not only cost effective but it also provides the latest technology and procedure. Apart from these things India is also the a favorite destination for medical tourism. Angiography is also known as arteriography. Angiography is a technique of medical imaging where an XRay is taken of the heart to visualize the inner opening of the arteries, veins and the four heart chambers, right atrium, right ventricle, left atrium and left ventricle. Angiography or angiogram requires the insertion of a catheter, a thin tube into a peripheral artery. Hospitals of angiography in India have performed numbers of successful surgeries of international patients. In Angiography, a long wire called catheter is inserted inside the artery of the leg, near the thigh crease. This catheter is then pushed against the blood flow towards the heart blindly. With a view of the tip of the catheter on the fluoroscopy monitor (which exposes the patient to very heavy radiation) this catheter is pushed onwards by trial and error method. If it gets stuck somewhere on the route, it is withdrawn a little and again pushed in. Not only it scratches the whole length of the arterial tubes of the body but it can also puncture any corner of the tubes. Once the tip reaches the heart area, further manipulation is done to push the tip in one of the coronary arteries. Once inside the coronary tube, after a lot of trial and error, a radioactive dye is injected through the hole in the catheter inside the coronary tubes and further fluoroscopy photographs are taken. The tip of the catheter is again withdrawn, negotiated inside another coronary tube and the same photos are taken. If the dye seems to fill up the coronary tubes completely, the blockages are probably not there. It the dye can not fill the tubes (as roughly seen in the photos taken) inside, it is taken as filling defect and indirectly interpreted as blockages. The viewer mostly puts a rough percentage. This report, being an eye estimation is given as 70%, 80% and so on. It varies from one viewer to another. It also depends on the timing of the photograph (best is before the dye is washed out), angle of the photograph etc. and is thus amenable to lot of different reports. It is not at all accurate and thus given in variations of 10%. One of my patients came to me the other day and told me that in the last two days he has already reversed his heart blockage by 10%. I asked “By what method”?. He said- “the second cardiologist told me that the blockage was 70%. Till now it was 80% according to the first cardiologist!” So what makes India one of the reliable medical tourism destinations for angiography. Primarily it is the low cost of treatment and medicines in India. There is no compromise on the quality of medical services, which can confidently compete, with that of even the most developed nations. India has achieved universally acclaimed standards in complex and significant cardiac treatment procedures such as angiography. And all this at 1/10th of the price compared to developed nations More over the overhead costs like traveling, lodging, sightseeing, food and shopping are very affordable during a patients angiography in India at Delhi, Chennai and Bangalore. The situation is further complimented by favorable currency exchange rates for medical tourists and India’s reputation for hospitality. Day by day India is reaching on new heights of medical and cardiac science. India – the land to travel, a heaven of tourism delights, a civilization to tour through. Tourists come to India for its wealth of sights, cultural exuberance, diversity of terrain and in search of that special something, an extra punch that only India promises and delivers.
