In this video, Dr. Viveka Kumar, Senior Director - Cath Lab, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, will discuss whether primary PCI can be done along with renal angioplasty. Renal angioplasty is always an elective procedure and primary PCI is an emergency procedure. If the patient’s hospital stay and cost has to be reduced, then it can be combined. But the primary procedure is PCI followed by the renal angioplasty.
