At Truxtun Foot and Ankle Specialists, our vascular specialists are highly skilled in performing angioplasty with a patient-first approach. Here’s what happens during the procedure:
Following your angioplasty, you will rest in a monitored recovery area for a few hours before going home. It is normal to experience slight soreness, bruising, or discomfort at the catheter site, which usually subsides within a short time. Recovery is generally swift, with most patients returning to their usual activities within a few days. Gentle walking is beneficial for circulation, but we recommend refraining from heavy exertion for about 1-2 weeks to ensure a smooth recovery.
Recovery after angioplasty is typically swift, allowing patients to regain mobility and enjoy a more active lifestyle. However, keeping arteries open and preventing future complications requires ongoing care. Regular follow-ups, prescribed medications, and heart-friendly habits play a vital role in sustaining long-term well-being.
Following angioplasty for PAD, most patients experience immediate symptom relief, including less leg pain and cramping due to improved blood flow. To maintain these results, your doctor may advise dietary changes focused on reducing saturated fats and cholesterol, incorporating regular exercise, and quitting smoking. These steps help promote lasting vascular health and prevent future blockages.
