Experiences with

Angioplasty

Angioplasty went ahead yesterday as felt better and hospital was happy to go ahead, large stent put into LAD the other arteries to small to stent so treating with meds, all went well home now to rest. Mandy

Hi, Can anyone please suggest some good private hospitals and cardiologist who specialises in Angiogram and Angioplasty for in West Midlands and London . I am from Coventry so ideally would like to see someone from nearby , but can travel to London if needed .

Had emergency angioplasty and now recovering, getting used to medication, exercise and change of diet.,Struggling with anxiety and worrying about every twinge which is new to me, never worried before.?

Yawning following angioplasty for blocked artery I am yawning quite a lot.Also my blood pressure spikes up every now and then when resting or first thing in the morning.I went to A and E once.They checked ECG/ blood test which was came normal.

So a question: A friend has just had an HA with primary PCI (so suffered a STEMI i guess) but has just had balloon angioplasty without a stent for treatment. Reading up this seems uncommon with 80% of cardiac angioplasty procedures appatently resulting in a stent emplacement.

I’m due to have angioplasty done tomorrow yesterday started to get signs off cold and today have woke full off it, I’ve tried to phone number on letter but all shut weekend, do I just turn up tomorrow and see what they say or cancel by phone, really don’t want to be out back on bottom off list as this

Angioplasty was abandoned and instead I had a stress test MRI. The doctor said blood flow was being restricted. I’m not showing any signs or symptoms and so he’s decided not to intervene.

Due to have angioplasty in 10 days. I have a blocked LAD but my heart has done 2 by passes, to help, but they haven’t quite done the job. Exercise test showed st depression. Cardiologist is going to try and poke a way through, and stent the LAD. Anyone had anything similar.

I feel like I've got worse than I was before the angioplasty. I do have a review in a week so I will mention it but wanted some advice from here too. :) Thank you in advance for your help. :)

You would have thought drug therapy would have commenced immediately to prevent either a stroke or heart attack but NO, it wasn’t until i had the angioplasty in mid January which was followed by a mild stroke that they then started me on blood thinners.

I have had no further angina symptoms for six months but I have been scheduled to have an angiogram with a view to proceed angioplasty in a few weeks time.

They were unable to stent my left circumflex artery via angioplasty 2 days ago. They would like to retry to drill out the plaque and then try stenting. How safe is this procedure?

I had angioplasty four months ago.since then I had been to A and E twice for aches and pains.Every time they blood test,ECG and X-rays.Everything normal,I was told.For the last 3 weeks I was having mild pain on the left side of upper front chest and on back in shoulder blade.I feel it when i breathe

3 weeks after a stent was inserted and all other arteries were stated as 'pristine' , I have had difficulty getting back to full physical activity. Yesterday I was 5 minutes into a short walk when I suddenly felt all energy go and had to stop... there was no pain, very minor breathlessness (if at all

I turned 45 years of age six days after my angiogram/angioplasty. You would have thought that being a mum of two young adult children, I’d have got life insurance sorted. Sadly life simply got in the way and it just didn’t happen. I do feel guilty about that.

Hi All, on 25th Oct, I had a STEMI on LAD, luckily managed to reach the hospital and emergency angioplasty was carried out. I am now recovering but has surely left a long term impact both physically and mentally. I am 47 and now with Low EF and generally feeling low.

My father aged 58 had a widow maker heart attack in September 2020 and had initially ignored symptoms leading to delayed angioplasty by 4 days, where two stents were placed.

Hi all, I had a heart attack in 2020, given balloon angioplasty and a stent, since then been on a morning dose of bisoprolol 1.25mg. I suffer very bad sleep patterns and fatigue, I read here some take it at different times yet my prescription just says "daily". Is it safe to try an evening slot?

So my question is: how long does it take to heal after an angioplasty, etc? Meds such as bisoprolol slow my heart beat. Is this part of it? Thanks. This forum is great.
