Kerala CM's Remarks on Unnecessary Angioplasty Stir Debate Among Doctors

Kerala Chief Minister V.D. Satheesan's recent comments warning against unnecessary angioplasty procedures have sparked intense debate across the state's medical fraternity.

While several doctors criticised the generalised statement, some cardiologists supported the remarks, noting that certain elective procedures are indeed unwarranted.

The Interventional Cardiology Council of Kerala cautioned that public apprehension regarding medical procedures must not delay time-sensitive emergency treatment during heart attacks.
