Your mum is very early into her healing process but it does sound worrying - please go to your heart specialist and ask them for advice. Similar situation with black toes, either go to specialist or to family doctor - do not defer or think about it - both issues need looking at as soon as possible

Apologies I am a bit late coming back. I think there is a possibility that your mother is suffering from PAD (peripheral arterial disease) which causes narrowing of the arteries; usually the legs but occasionally the arms. PAD is more common amongst diabetes and/or smokers. If your mother has diabetes it is very important that her blood sugars are well controlled to prevent progression of the disease. I hope the gangrene is not progressing and wish your mother well!
