Going Home Recovery after a Cardiac Cath Procedure | Heart Care Video Series

[@sybrandtgrobler2795]

Got 1 stent a week ago Groin was bruised as well as arm due to drip leakage. I feel much better and bruising is going away. I keep still,, walk around barefoot and take sunbathes regularly. Also take my meds religiously. Thanks for a 2nd chance,,so grateful now.

I’ve been through several of these procedures including an ablation and 2 stents in LAD and Left Circumflex artery. I never had a problem recovering from the procedure. They didn’t make me feel 10 years younger but I’m still here!!

[@helenadetty7164]

Just had this done 2 days ago still sitting here on my hospital bed. I was really uncomfortable during the procedure but I’m feeling fine. Thank you Jesus and Dr. Clara Tolentino, electrophysiologist at St. Luke’s Medical City Philippine and her team🙏 They did such a great job!

[@amberj6760]

Helena, can you give an update on how you are doing now? How long were you miserable after the procedure?

[@sharongholson5818]

How long was recovery..

[@helenadetty7164]

@@sharongholson5818 I felt normal right after the procedure…no pain at all except back pain from lying in bed for hours during the procedure. I left Philippine a week after. Thank you Jesus!🙏

[@helenadetty7164]

@@amberj6760 I’m so sorry I meant to reply to you but somehow I forgot. Here I am 1 year later I feel fine hasn’t had the palpitations since the procedure. The miserable part was the length of the procedure that caused back pain🙂 if you had to go through this procedure please don’t worry you would be fine🙏

How are you now after a year of the procedure?

[@WhiteStorm-h7b]

Had my Heart Attack and had the stent put in on 8/24/24, I was amazed at how easy it was, I was back at work in 2 days, and I am back on treadmill, which I love!

[@claygrider1090]

Just had this done yesterday morning 8/24/24. I had 1 done in 2019 after a completely separate medical procedures was done ( hernia) and my intestines were inadvertently punctured. I went into organ failure and the entire affair caused some lingering medical problems (including my heart )that required wound care and repeated medical procedures for a year plus after. I had the cath done and ended up needing a quadruple bi-pass. The teams of doctors that got me through this ( not any of the original participants) were absolutely remarkable, and dedicated, professionals I owe my life to. However, the damage was done. I will return next Friday ( 08/31 ) to repeat the catheter and have 2 stints put in. Yesterday entry site ( Groin) is tender and bruised but not beyond expectation. I have learned to follow the instructions but at the same time, get on with life. Most patient complaints stem from stubbornness, ignorance or simply not following instructions. Having been through this procedure actually 3 times now, I will take one every Thursday rather than have to repeat the open heart bi-pass procedure.

[@SoapinTrucker]

I'm home after being released yesterday, cath ablation done day before that. I can stand in place ok, but just going to the kitchen makes my heart say, "YO! Slow down fool!" LOL :)

[@jamilgotcher365]

I hope your recovery went well.

[@KATNYC_718]

It's been 3 days I still have chest pains I am sore and omg the exhaustion is so unreal they make it sound like you will be back to normal in no time but now I'm hearing from Freund's in med field that it's closer to a month to recoup , it's a serious procedure they fiddled with your heart out stuff where it naturally shouldn't have been yes you are going to feel it for a while. I hope everyone feels better real soon heating pads helped me get some kind of relief from soreness. They had to go through both my wrists . Can't use my hands much at all but it's getting better. I made sure my doc knew I was against groin my mom had it done and she was in horrible pain couldn't walk at all after got infection couldn't pee without pain nope I rather both my hands then the groin I listened to my ma god rest her soul heart disease took her from us , runs in the family I'm 45 and I'm trying anything to keep me here for my kids so I let them do this so they can 100 see all the issues with my heart and know how to treat it , absolutely worth the pain .

[@Sapwolf]

I had mine with stents put in this last Thursday, but I still have chest pains especially when I breathe. I'm heading to cardiology tomorrow to get something for the pain.

[@vincentcamachio5369]

What happened when you went back?

[@jamilgotcher365]

Maybe you need so Nitro pills for chest pain.

[@nealjones84]

​@jamilgotcher365 that's what my doctor gave me for pain

[@billl.3917]

I just had this procedure done last Tuesday. Had it done through the wrist. Because of my history of having vageling during IV insertion, the staff sedidated me before the procedure and I was in lala land during the procedure, recovery was about 4 hours, and post recovery this past week has been non eventfull.

[@stephenmartin9393]

In April, 2021 I had a heart attack. This was followed by a 4 way bypass surgery. Later, my cardiologist inserted a stent. I have had two cardiac catheterizations. It is a simple and painless procedure since I was sedated prior to the procedure

[@janmessek1826]

Will be 2 years this December 3rd, stent in through my wrist LAD 99% blockage however it seems the clot traveled to my lungs and was sent home after 5 days to recover. 3 weeks later followup lungs infected with pneumonia and badly clotted could barely breathe when standing, immediately put in the hospital for 11 days on oxygen the whole time and taking three different anticoagulants and antibiotics.

I can walk fast on the treadmill for 10+ minutes and then they take me off because my heart won't come up to speed. But then they say my test was abnormal. I can push mow my grass for 1 hour and no problems. Why am I not dead if it was abnormal?
