Angioplasty with stent placement is a minimally invasive procedure used to open narrow or blocked arteries. This procedure is used in different parts of your body, depending on the location of the affected artery. It requires only a small incision.
How long has it been since your procedure? Contact your doctor immediately if you notice the following symptoms at your incision site:
swelling
redness
discharge
unusual pain
bleeding that can’t be stopped with a small bandage
Numbness may or may not be related. You should discuss the symptoms you are having with your doctor.
