Question : Im have angioplast and stents in legs tomorrow...what is recovery time

Answered by Dr. Benard Shehu (1 hour later)

Brief Answer:
2 days...

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

The recovery time is 2 days after intervention; so, if you will be admitted tomorrow, the day after that, you should be getting ready to head back home.

You should see immediate improvement of the symptoms.

Good luck for the tomorrow's angioplasty!
