Angiography Cost in Gurgaon, India

The cost of angiography in Gurgaon typically ranges from $500 to $1,200 USD (about ₹47,400 to ₹1.14 lakh), depending on the hospital, room category and type of procedure.

A typical estimate for angiography in Gurgaon is around $700 (about ₹66,400). What you pay depends mainly on your own case. If the procedure is planned and you go home the same day or the next morning, your bill is likely to be closer to $500 (about ₹47,400). It is likely to be nearer $1,200 (about ₹1.14 lakh) if the arteries are harder to treat, extra stents or devices are needed, or you stay longer.

When comparing Gurgaon packages for angiography, check whether each quote includes:

• Surgeon and anaesthetist fees
• Operating theatre or procedure room
• Stents, balloons or closure devices
• Hospital stay and room category
• Medicines and consumables
• Follow-up visits before you fly home

Coronary angiography is an X-ray test in which contrast dye, injected through a fine tube placed in the wrist or groin, shows up the heart arteries so that any narrowing can be seen.

North Bristol NHS Trust explains that the wrist or groin is numbed with local anaesthetic so you stay awake, with sedation available if you are anxious, while dye is injected and X-ray images are recorded.

Most people go home the same day after about three hours of recovery.

North Bristol NHS lists small risks of stroke, heart attack or emergency surgery, while allergic reactions to the dye are very rare.

Driving waits 48 hours and heavy lifting four to five days, and it helps to keep a copy of the report and images.

Flying home: the UK Civil Aviation Authority's guidance for health professionals covers coronary angioplasty (about 5 days if uncomplicated) but not every catheter procedure, so the specialist confirms timing once the puncture site has healed.

A Gurgaon quote for angiography is normally made up of these items:

• Work-up before the procedure: blood tests, ECG and earlier scans.
• Catheter lab charges: lab time, imaging and wires, catheters or devices.
• Specialist fees: for the interventional consultant.
• Test: catheter or CT coronary angiogram.
• Stay: most people leave the same day.
• Extra tests: such as pressure-wire studies.
• Angioplasty: if done at the same time, the package changes.

If a stent is placed during the same test, a Gurgaon bill usually moves to an angioplasty package, so agree this before the procedure.

Many of Gurgaon's multi-speciality hospitals run catheter laboratories with cardiac surgeons on the same site, which matters if a catheter procedure needs to be converted to surgery.

The National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers (NABH), part of the Quality Council of India and accredited by ISQua, sets India's national hospital standard, and its website lets you confirm whether a Gurgaon hospital's accreditation is current.

Gurgaon is part of Delhi NCR, where India's first hospital to gain Joint Commission International (JCI) accreditation did so in 2005, and JCI publishes a searchable list of the organisations it currently accredits.
