Effects Of Angiogram, Balloon And Stents.

Had an abnormal nuclear stress test. Could be looking at angiogram. Has anyone had one? What was it like? How long was hospitalization and recuperation?

Also had a number of angiograms, most times you are in and out within a few hours. You would only be kept in overnight if it wasn’t done till late afternoon. Nothing to worry about and you can chat to the medical team while they are doing it if you want. A few days rest afterwards and you will be fine

Nothing to it. Ive had numerous angiograms. I now have 4 stents. They sedate you and that helps. Two of mine were done thru the wrist.

I have had a triple by-pass and 11 stents. I was home same day for the stents and back to work 2 days later. But that was me.

Mine was thru the groin. Afterwards manual pressure was applied for about an hour, stayed flat for about 8 hours, then home in the morning. No pain. Took it easy for a couple of days, then all back to normal. Don't worry, all will be well.
