Patient's question:
How much does a coronary angiography surgery generally cost? Is it expensive? Recently, a colleague of mine is going to have a coronary angiography surgery, and I want to know how much a coronary angiography surgery generally costs. Does anyone know how much a coronary angiography surgery generally costs? You can reply to me.Doctor's answer:
Generally, it costs around 5,000 yuan. When a patient is suspected of having coronary heart disease, after ruling out contraindications for angiography, a coronary angiography should be performed. The cost of this examination depends on the level of the hospital where the patient is treated. Coronary heart disease is common in middle-aged and elderly people and is caused by atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, leading to vessel stenosis and insufficient blood supply to the heart. Coronary angiography helps determine the severity of coronary artery stenosis and decide on the next treatment strategy. Severe coronary stenosis may require percutaneous coronary intervention (stent placement) or coronary artery bypass surgery.
