RAJU O.F., (Expert) 16 April 2011
On proceeding with the angiogram, if the doctors find urgent necessity to do angioplasty, to save the life of the patient, then the doctors are justified, in conducting angioplasty under implied consent. Whereever possible, angioplasty would be done after further discussion with patient, if conscious, or with his close relatives.

It depends. If the conducting doctor feels that it's very much essential for the interest of the patient or to save his life, he can do it.But prior to do so every doctor should take the permission from the patient party,otherwise Every doctor will be held liable for any misdid done by him.
Advocate. Arunagiri (Expert) 17 April 2011
The doctors found the need of doing angioplasty while doing angiogram, they can proceed without getting further permission, considering the need of the hour.
