Frequently asked questions

What accreditation covers cardiac procedures in Thailand?
JCI accreditation is held by leading Thai hospital groups including Bumrungrad, Bangkok Hospital, and Samitivej. HA Thailand (Healthcare Accreditation Institute) provides the national quality standard, and the Heart Association of Thailand sets clinical practice guidelines.
What is included in an angioplasty package in Thailand?
Packages cover pre-op cardiac workup (blood work, ECG, echocardiogram), the catheterisation procedure with drug-eluting stent(s), one to two nights in CCU, post-op medications, and a follow-up cardiology consultation before departure.
What stenting technology is available in Thai hospitals?
Thai cardiac centres use latest-generation drug-eluting stents with IVUS and OCT guidance. Radial-access procedures are standard at major centres, and hybrid cath-lab/OR facilities are available for complex interventions.
What aftercare follows angioplasty in Thailand?
Patients are monitored in the CCU for 24 hours, then moved to a ward for observation before discharge at 48 hours. Dual-antiplatelet therapy is prescribed, and hospitals arrange telemedicine follow-ups at one week and one month.
How do international patients pay for angioplasty in Thailand?
Major Thai hospitals accept international insurance with direct billing from insurers like Bupa, Cigna, and Allianz. Self-pay patients pay a 30-50% deposit via credit card or wire transfer, with the balance settled before discharge.
What is the difference between drug-eluting stents and bare-metal stents?
Drug-eluting stents (DES) are coated with medication that slowly releases to prevent tissue regrowth, significantly reducing re-narrowing rates compared to bare-metal stents which have a 15-20% restenosis rate. Modern second-generation DES are now the standard of care, delivering lower rates of repeat procedures and heart attacks.
How long do stents last, and what is the risk of re-narrowing?
Stents are permanent implants designed to last a lifetime — the metal scaffold itself does not wear out. However, about 1 in 4 patients may develop in-stent restenosis typically within 6-12 months, with drug-eluting stents having significantly lower rates than bare-metal stents. Lifelong follow-up with periodic stress testing and statin therapy remain essential.
How long should I stay near the hospital after angioplasty before flying home?
Most hospitals recommend staying within 30 minutes of the facility for 3-5 days after the procedure so the team can monitor for early complications. Airlines typically allow flying 5-7 days after uncomplicated angioplasty, though your treating physician will clear you based on your individual case.
What medical records should I bring to my overseas cardiologist?
Bring your most recent angiogram or cardiac catheterization report on CD or DICOM format, a recent echocardiogram, your current medication list with dosages, relevant blood work (lipid panel, HbA1c, kidney function), and any stress test results. Most international cardiac centers can also accept records via a secure patient portal.
How do I coordinate cardiac follow-up care with my local cardiologist after returning home?
Before traveling, inform your home cardiologist about the planned procedure and ask if they will manage your post-procedure care. Request a detailed discharge summary from the overseas hospital including the stent type, size, placement, and any procedural notes. Most international cardiac centers provide English-language records specifically for this purpose.
