Angioplasy, TB

2018-06-07 02:54:07
Doc suggested to undergo angioplasty to my dad and also suspected some infection in the right lung like TB. Is it safe to undergo angioplasty. Can we start medication for TB if it is confirmed after recovered from angioplasty. CT scan reports acinar nodules in the right lung.
