Frequently Asked Questions
What is cardiac catheterization?
A thin tube (catheter) is inserted through a blood vessel in your wrist or groin and guided to your heart. Dye is injected to visualize the coronary arteries on X-ray, showing any blockages.
What happens during angioplasty and stenting?
A balloon is inflated to open the blocked artery, then a small mesh tube (stent) is placed to keep it open. The stent stays in permanently and the artery heals around it.
How long is recovery after a stent?
Most patients return to normal activities within a week. You'll need to take blood thinners as prescribed and avoid heavy lifting for a short period. Full recovery typically takes 4-6 weeks.
Will I need more procedures in the future?
Modern drug-eluting stents have low re-narrowing rates. However, coronary disease can progress, so ongoing prevention through lifestyle and medications is essential.
