    Understanding the Procedure

    What is Coronary Angiography?

    Coronary angiography is the gold-standard diagnostic test to visualise the coronary arteries — the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle. A thin flexible catheter is guided through a small puncture in the wrist (radial artery) or groin to the heart, where X-ray contrast dye is injected to reveal any blockages, narrowings, or abnormalities in precise detail.

    At Heartwise, Dr. Amit Singh performs coronary angiography via the radial (wrist) route as the preferred approach — associated with fewer complications, immediate mobilisation, and same-day discharge compared to the traditional femoral (groin) approach.

    Coronary angiography is the definitive test for coronary artery disease. No other investigation — not even the best CT coronary angiogram — provides the resolution, functional assessment capability, and immediate treatment option that a catheter-based angiogram offers.

    Clinical Indications

    Who Needs Coronary Angiography?

    Coronary angiography is indicated when non-invasive tests suggest significant coronary artery disease, or when symptoms are high-risk and require definitive assessment.

    💤
    Chest Pain (Angina)
    Persistent or worsening chest pain on exertion despite medication. Abnormal stress test or suspicious ECG findings requiring definitive coronary anatomy assessment.
    🚨
    Acute Coronary Syndrome
    Heart attack (STEMI/NSTEMI) or unstable angina. Emergency or urgent angiography to identify the culprit vessel and plan immediate stenting if required.
    📈
    Abnormal Stress Test
    Positive TMT or nuclear stress test showing significant ischaemia. Angiography defines the exact coronary anatomy before deciding on angioplasty or bypass surgery.
    💔
    Heart Failure Assessment
    New-onset heart failure or deteriorating ejection fraction. Angiography determines whether ischaemic coronary disease is the underlying cause requiring revascularisation.
    🤘
    Pre-TAVR / Valve Surgery
    Mandatory before any cardiac surgery or TAVR to assess for coexisting coronary disease that may need simultaneous treatment during the cardiac procedure.
    Unexplained Arrhythmia
    Ventricular arrhythmia or new heart block where coronary ischaemia needs to be excluded as the underlying cause before electrophysiology evaluation.

    Why Radial Route Matters

    The Radial Advantage — Wrist Access at Heartwise

    Dr. Amit Singh performs coronary angiography via the radial (wrist) artery as the default approach. This is not just a preference — it is the evidence-based standard of care per ACC/AHA and ESC guidelines.

    💧
    Fewer Bleeding Complications
    Radial access reduces major vascular complications by 60–70% compared to femoral (groin) access. The wrist artery is compressible and easily haemostased.
    🏠
    Same-Day Discharge
    Most radial angiography patients are discharged the same day within 2–4 hours of the procedure. Femoral access requires 4–6 hours of bed rest and often overnight stay.
    🤦
    Immediate Mobilisation
    Patients can sit up, walk, and eat immediately after a radial procedure. No prolonged bedrest. Recovery is faster and more comfortable.
    👨‍⚕️
    FACC-Level Operator
    Dr. Amit Singh is FACC and EAPCI certified — the most relevant international credentials for catheter-based coronary procedures. Trained in complex radial and femoral access techniques.
    🏦
    State-of-the-Art Cath Lab
    Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital, Koperkhairne houses a modern high-definition biplane cardiac catheterisation laboratory with real-time fluoroscopy.
    Immediate Stenting if Needed
    If significant blockage is found at angiography, Dr. Singh can proceed to coronary angioplasty (stenting) in the same sitting — one procedure, one admission, one recovery.

    Patient Experiences

    What Our Patients Say

    ★★★★★

    “I was very anxious about the angiography. Dr. Singh explained every step clearly before the procedure. The wrist approach was painless — I barely felt anything. I was home the same evening and back to my daily routine in two days. The clear explanation of results gave me complete clarity on my condition.”

    👤
    Suresh M.
    Vashi, Navi Mumbai
    ★★★★★

    “My father had a heart attack and was rushed to Kokilaben Hospital. Dr. Amit Singh performed emergency angiography and stenting the same night. The speed and skill with which he treated my father was extraordinary. The blocked artery was opened, and my father was walking the next day. We are eternally grateful.”

    👤
    Priya K.
    Kharghar, Navi Mumbai
    ★★★★★

    “Dr. Singh did my angiography after a positive stress test. He found one significant blockage and did the stenting immediately in the same procedure. No second visit, no second hospital stay. His expertise and the wrist approach meant I was discharged comfortably the same day. Exceptional care.”

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Common Questions About Coronary Angiography in Navi Mumbai

    Is coronary angiography painful?+
    Coronary angiography is performed under local anaesthetic at the wrist puncture site and is not painful. You will feel mild pressure during catheter passage but no significant discomfort. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is. You remain fully awake throughout and can communicate with Dr. Singh during the procedure.
    What is the cost of coronary angiography in Navi Mumbai?+
    Coronary angiography at Kokilaben Hospital, Koperkhairne typically costs ₹25,000 to ₹40,000 for a diagnostic-only procedure including day-care admission and contrast. Most comprehensive health insurance policies cover coronary angiography. Cashless treatment is available at Kokilaben Hospital for empanelled insurers. Call 9769517636 for insurance and cost guidance.
    Can I go home the same day after angiography?+
    Yes — for most patients undergoing diagnostic angiography via the radial (wrist) route, same-day discharge is the standard. The wrist band is removed after 2–4 hours of observation, and most patients are home the same evening. Femoral (groin) approach typically requires overnight stay. Patients who require stenting at the same sitting may stay one night for observation.
    What medications should I stop before angiography?+
    Most cardiac medications should be continued on the morning of angiography with a small sip of water. Blood thinners (warfarin, NOACs) and metformin require specific instructions from Dr. Singh depending on your individual situation. Never stop antiplatelet medications (aspirin, clopidogrel) without explicit guidance from Dr. Singh — abrupt cessation increases clot risk.
    What happens if a blockage is found during angiography?+
    If a significant coronary blockage is found at angiography, Dr. Singh can proceed immediately to coronary angioplasty (stenting) in the same procedure — this is called ad-hoc PCI. Whether to stent immediately depends on the severity, location, and number of blockages. Dr. Singh explains the findings to the patient (or family member if the patient is sedated) and obtains consent before proceeding.
    Is coronary angiography safe? What are the risks?+
    Coronary angiography is a safe and widely performed procedure with an overall serious complication rate below 1% in elective cases. Minor complications — wrist bruising, mild contrast allergy — are managed at the hospital. Serious complications (major bleeding, stroke, MI) are rare but possible. The benefits of accurate diagnosis of coronary artery disease far outweigh procedural risks for appropriate patients. Dr. Singh discusses individual risk at the pre-procedure consultation.
