Hi,
Post angioplasty blood thinner(Ecosprin & Ceruvin) are given to keep blood thin. Their very common side effect is gastritis & we commonly recommend Tab Pantoprazole 40mg once daily to our patients.
Don't worry it is not due to Angioplasty. It is just gastritis due to side effect of drugs.
Thanks
