HI, Welcome to HealthcareMagic forum,
Erectile dysfunction in your case needs neurological evaluation if it doesnot settle down after a few weeks, to know if the stroke (left hemiparesis) has any thing to do with it.Wishing you good health

Hello and welcome to HeathcareMagic!
Erectile problem is quite common after a cardiac procedure like catheterization. It should settle down within a few days, but I advice you to consult a neurologist for your paresis; which requires immediate attention.
best wishes and regards.
