How to prepare

- Arrange for post-procedure support and transportation home.
Risks & possible complications
- For diagnostic procedures (angiography): Allergic reaction to contrast dye, bleeding, infection, or kidney injury.
- For interventional procedures (angioplasty/stenting): Artery damage, blood clot, stent thrombosis, or restenosis (re-narrowing).
- For surgical procedures (CABG): Risks associated with major surgery including infection, bleeding, stroke, heart attack, or arrhythmias.
- General risks: Adverse reactions to medications or anesthesia.
Recovery & hospital stay
- After a diagnostic angiogram, rest is advised for 6-12 hours; normal activities can often resume in 1-2 days.
- Following angioplasty, avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for about a week.
- After CABG surgery, a structured cardiac rehabilitation program is essential, with full recovery taking several weeks to months.

I've been seeing Dr. Muzammil for my lymphoma for over three years now. The first thing I noticed was how he never rushed. He’d sit, explain the scans in plain language, and actually remembered what we talked about last time. The hospital’s fancy, sure, but what matters is that I never feel like just another file on his desk. When my blood counts dipped last winter, his team called me before I even saw the report. That kind of consistency is what gets you through this.
