What causes chillness in hands and feet after an angioplasty?
Patient: My husband had a diagnostic angiography on Wednesday and an angioplasty on the left iliac artery. He developed a red itchy rash which I assume is from the contrast dye. He has developed flu like symptoms, his hands and feet and cold and very painful and his urine output has decreased and is dark, is this to do with the angioplasty? He is 41 in good general health and a ex smoker. Doctor: Hello There After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that chilliness is not because angiogram procedure, it is because of some urine infection, so it is recommended for you to get a Urine Analysis done and consult a physician with reports for further treatment. Take plenty of fluids Hopefully this information will guide you properly.Kind Regards Dr Bhanu Partap
