Depending on what your doctor discovers during your angiogram, you may have additional catheter procedures at the same time, such as a balloon angioplasty or a stent placement to open up a narrowed artery.

When Should angiography be repeated?

Only 2 developed single-vessel coronary artery disease, 1 of whom had a myocardial infarction. In our opinion, repeat coronary angiography in a patient with a previously normal coronary angiogram should be reserved for those with objective evidence of spontaneous or provocable ischemia.

Can you stent an artery twice?

In answer to your first question, in some cases doctors can place two or even three stents during one procedure. There are, however, cases in which the cardiologist will want to place one and then place a second or even a third stent in a later procedure.
