Is the cardiac catheterization procedure recovery period long?
Patient: 59 yo female, 5'5", 206 lbs, diabetes type 2 for past 4 yrs. Having cardiac cateritization this morning outpatient cardiac center due to mildly abnormal nuclear stress test, may have partial blockage. Will I be able to go work on Friday; I sit all day at a desk. I forgot to ask my dr. Doctor: Hello , Angiography is done through hand you would be discharged on the same day . You can go to routine work from the same very day . If it's done through leg I would advice 1 day rest for the wound to heal . Regards Dr. Priyank Mody
