Hello,

I don't know how much it can cost but I can say that this procedure may be lifesaving for your father (I mean for the heart problems). Angiography and angioplasty are not contraindicated in cancer patients.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Anila Skenderi, General & Family Physician
