What Causes Pain After Putting Stent In Carotid Artery?
My father has just had a stent put in his carotid artery through his arm and is experincing severe pain...the ICU can not seem to get a handle on it he has one good day followed by few bad days. the stent has not moved and no blood clots is this normal or do you know what may be causing the pain?
This condition is called arteritis. Arteritis is a condition in which inflammation of your arteries damages your blood vessel walls, this inflammation will take at least 14 days to go away, antinflammatory medications should be taken. Serrapeptase should be taken along with anti inflammatory, arteritis will take time to settle down.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
