Post angioplasty you will be taking anti-platelets, which can cause minor bleeding issues. It depends on the procedure and the operating surgeon whether they require stopping anti-platelets or can safely carry out the procedure on these medications. If required the dentist can ask to hold these medicines for 2 to 3 days prior to the procedure and restart the drugs as soon as the procedure is over. The procedure can be safely done so do not worry.
