Brief Answer:
Yes

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

You can drive a car after 4 weeks off angioplasty, some may go up to 6 weeks. I still suggest that you get the 2D ECHO done before you start driving your car. It is wise to take through the driving test once again as some states have different rules.

All the best.
