Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that angiogram is a daycare procedure which can take 4-8 hours depending on the site of puncture radial or femoral. If your angiogram is normal then you can go back the home same day or if you are going for angioplasty then 2-3 day hospital stay.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap, Cardiologist
