Experiences with

Angioplasty

Due to have Angioplasty this week after procedure is there much pain not sure whether they are going to use arm or groin- several people have told me to expect a lot of pain afterwards now worrying about coping at home.

Hello, I have an angioplasty on 20th January, and I find swallowing fingers and pain in my fingers each morning. Also I feel a pain in my arm where a inserted cuateter was. I v been to my doctor and he said that that is ussual/ normal for person with tiny and curved arteries.

Scheduled to have angioplasty at end of week with possible stent if needed. Worrying about the whole thing . Not to sure how many stents are needed possibly two. Reading on this site about a STEMI procedure is this the same as angioplasty or something different.

I will ask the cardiologist but has anyone had an angioplasty, only to have a stent soon afterwards? Also, I'm sure the angioplasty was further down to where he placed the stent. Can surgery dislodge the plaque?

advice please due to have angioplasty what’s the best clothes to wear presume they give you a gown or own clothes without zips or metal fasteners thank you

Hi just been for my pre assessment and procedure booked for mid February. Have now been told to take a loading dose of Cloprodgil sorry about spelling a week before procedure so on first day six tablets all at once followed by one a day for following week. Anyone done this and any side effects. Many

Hi following recent posts it’s nearly time for my angioplasty so cardiologist can take a look to see what needs to be done with possibility of stent.

on Wednesday I had a very complicated procedure resulting in a stent and three balloons being inserted into an artery it took 4.5 hours during the procedure I arrested three times and had to be shocked. This all followed a 3 x CABG in May 23 which failed almost immediately. This has been the most traumatic

I am 3 weeks post having 2 stents in one main artery & ballooning of a second artery, when can I restart exercise classes such as Zumba Gold, ie. Zumba for older people & skipping?

He wants to deal with it so going in to have an angioplasty if after checking he deems is relevant and if necessary a stent. Anyone had this procedure (I am sure plenty have) can you let me know what it involves is it painful and recovery time. Many thanks.

I posted on here about my concerns over this. Had it done on Monday. Although perhaps the best day out, it certainly wasn't bad. Had a really nice team in the lab, and with a good dose of sedative was able to watch the procedure on a big screen, so interested when the x ray blocked my view I had to

When first angioplasty done consultant remarked in letter another artery was blocked and that he chose to leave it as it would complicate procedure. Two weeks ago another heart attack, major , emergency stent in this artery.

My cardiologist says my heart is fine since an angioplasty procedure in November but AF seems more regular now than before I had it done.

Month ago i started having discomfort and tightness feeling in chest and after a couple of vists to A& E, i had a balloon angioplasty on the old stent.

Hi my BHFs I had balloon angioplasty on 8th Jan this year along with being started on DAPT (clopidogrel+aspirin) and a statin and nitrate tablets (all new).

My dad had a angioplasty through Right hand on 17.08.2024, but still the Right Arm pain havent gone completely. Is it normal??

should I let my cardiologist do another angioplasty through the groin after failing to be able to enter any of the 3 completely blocked arteries through the ankle? Is it time for a vascular surgeon? I understand vascular surgeons have tools cardiologists do not use.

Surgeon says op will be approximately in mid Feb. 2 days after the angiogram and abandoned angioplasty on 17th my partner had HA on 19th Dec (tropinine 57) , ( Medics think it was a induced by a combination of GTN Tab and an abandoned angioplasty on 17th).

Hi, It's been 3 weeks now since my balloon angioplasty (in two separate coronary arteries). I accepted I might feel a little sore /discomfort (stretch pain?)

So following my STEMI, 2 stents and an angioplasty just over 6 weeks ago, it's been full of ups and downs.
