Q: How many times can you have an angioplasty?
Hi Chebrolu,
This depends on your individual health situation. You must weigh the pros/cons/risks of the procedure (or multiple procedures) with your doctor to determine if it is safe for you.
If you are having plaque buildup in your arteries that continues to occur after the procedure I recommend working with your physician to investigate the cause and take steps to stop the build up. This may mean making diet and lifestyle changes.
All the best,
