Cardiac catheterization will be performed in a sterile Cath lab. The patient will be given a mild sedative, 30 minutes before the procedure. General anesthesia is usually not given; hence the patient can be awake during the procedure.

BCBS does even pay for 24 hours for patient stay after cardiac cath.
What is medical view on the issue?
Favour of your response is appreciated.

Posted on: 01/15/2011 After a cardiac catheterization, the patient is asked to refrain from any exercise or exertion. They are not to lift heavy load or involve themselves in strenuous exercise. Care should be taken of the incision site so as to prevent a sore or swelling. It is also advisable that the patient does not drive for 24hours post procedure.

Posted on: 01/14/2008 My dad had coronary angiogram for placement of a medicated stent. But apparently something went wrong and he required immediate Coronary By pass surgery. I wonder how often this happens? Currently he is re-couping and I hope he recovers fully. The doctors say the danger is over !! Not sure What they mean. He is still in the ICU very worried. |
