Does We Need To Go For Angioplasty After Mild Attack?

my husband drove to the hospital this morning because he had severe chest pain whole of yesterday. We are told after angiography that its a mild heart attack with artery blockage. Does he need angioplasty right away? Can he take a flight to his home city (2 hrs)?

hi there
after reading the scenario I would honestly suggest you to stop asking for opinions online because it's a matter of a life and no one can give you the right advise without going through an angiogram CO or report. so its better to stick with the opinion that your treating doctor has given you and have faith.Whether or not taking a flight will again depend on that who critical is the blocked artery.
Good luck
