Factors That Can Influence the Final Cost
Every heart is anatomically unique. Here are the three primary clinical variables that may alter the final billing:
Transradial (Wrist) vs. Transfemoral (Groin) Access
Saves ₹8,000 – ₹15,000Wrist access eliminates the need for expensive femoral closure plugs (Angio-Seal) and avoids 8-hour flat bed rest in ICU.
Immediate Transition to Angioplasty (Same-Sitting Stenting)
Merged billing (Saves ~₹25,000)If a critical 95–99% blockage is found and stenting is performed immediately, the diagnostic angiography charges are absorbed into the comprehensive stenting package.
Bypass Graft (CABG) Angiography
₹2,000 – ₹3,500 additional consumable utilizationPatients with prior open-heart bypass surgery require additional specialized catheters to map internal mammary (LIMA) and saphenous vein grafts.

Frequently Asked Questions on Pricing
Is 24-hour hospitalization required to claim insurance for an angiography?
No. Modern health insurance policies include Day Care Procedure coverage for coronary angiography. Because transradial techniques allow safe discharge in 2–4 hours, insurers approve cashless claims without requiring overnight admission.
What is included in the all-inclusive angiography package at Yashoda Medicity?
The package covers cath lab usage, cardiologist procedural fee, non-ionic low-osmolar contrast dye, sterile radial puncture kit, daycare observation, nursing care, post-procedure refreshments, and the official video CD recording with comprehensive written report.
If I need a stent or angioplasty immediately, how is the billing handled?
If Dr. Manish Aggarwal discovers a critical blockage requiring immediate treatment and your family consents to same-sitting angioplasty, you do not pay for two separate procedures. The diagnostic angiography cost is absorbed into the comprehensive stenting package, saving both time and hospital room charges.
Why is transradial wrist angiography better and more cost-effective than groin angiography?
Wrist angiography eliminates groin bleeding risks, avoids expensive manual compression devices or arterial closure plugs (which can cost ₹8,000–₹15,000 extra), and allows patients to walk immediately without paying for overnight hospital bed charges.
