Meds post stents
Hopefully my
angioplasty
is scheduled for this a Friday. Do you still take nitrates? I know aspirin and anti clotting medication is prescribed as well as continuing with my blood pressure tablets. Is it a problem getting travel insurance after stents?

Stents causing unusual EKG
I immediately received
angioplasty
and 2 stents. Since then, I have twice had the experience of receiving an EKG deemed alarming by the cardiologist who recommended another catheterization. Both times, no blockage was discovered. I was told once because of my stents, this could occur.

Pins and needles after angioplasty
My partner had
angioplasty
on Tuesday. It failed in his right arm due to the artery collapsing within a few inches. He is still having pins and needles, sensitivity and occasional weakness in his hand/fingers. They went in on left side and my partner says this arms fine.

Heart attack last August, no Stent
They did
angioplasty
, but were unable to insert stent(s) because of ectatic Right coronary artery. I'm told this means that instead of being smooth, the artery has narrow bits and wide bits. The problem was clots in the artery which blocked it completely.

Newly diagnosed and super confused!
They said his ECG looked like he had had a heart attack and they sent him straight to one of the bigger hospitals for
Angioplasty
to insert a stent. When they did the
angioplasty
, there was no need for the stent - vessels all fine, no collapses, no clots and no blockages.

post angioplasty
Hi and thank you to everyone that replied to my post (Re-
Angioplasty
) Had the stent fitted although they did pressure testing first which was kinda weird, it was decided to stent so had that done.

upcoming Angioplasty
I am due to go into hospital tomorrow for an
angioplasty
, was supposed to be done back in March but was understandably cancelled! But I have severe COPD (Emphysema) and am wondering if having a stent put in will help my breathing? The stent is for my Right Coronary Artery and is appx 25% blocked!

Will my dad be okay?
I’m terrified about the
angioplasty
and stents, even though I know it’s a fairly common procedure and less risky than CABG.

angioplasty tissue damage?
Went to doctor who thinks it might be tendinitis but possibility it might be related to
angioplasty
procedure. Went to physiotheropist who does not think it's tendinitis and might be damage from my
angioplasty
procedure. I have prescription for X-ray and ultrasound but not until August.
