Your health. Our priority.

In a heart attack the measure that matters is the time between arriving and the artery being opened.

  • A cath lab kept ready rather than opened up, so primary angioplasty starts without waiting for a team to gather
  • Radial access as the default where it is suitable, which means less bleeding and walking sooner
  • Coronary care beds on the same floor, so recovery is not a journey
  • The consultant who does the procedure is the one who sees you afterwards

Questions, answered.

Common questions about interventional cardiology care at Humayun Hospital.

Will I be asleep during an angioplasty?

No. It is done under local anaesthetic with light sedation. You stay awake, and most people describe pressure rather than pain.

How long will I be in hospital?

A planned angioplasty is usually one night. An emergency angioplasty after a heart attack normally means two to four days, depending on how much heart muscle was affected.

Will I need to take medication afterwards?

Yes, and the blood thinners in particular must not be stopped without asking your cardiologist. Stopping them early is the most common reason a stent blocks.

Is a stent permanent?

The stent stays in place for life. It becomes covered by the artery lining within a few months, which is why the early period on blood thinners matters so much.
