HI
Thank for asking to HCM
I really appreciate and I would like to say that the area from where the stent being taken to the heart level is the artery either in leg or arm so this is the procedure in which artery need to be punctured and most of the time this cause little trauma and this is would be the reason for bruise, but this would get alright soon, have a nice day.
