Are there any complications of angioplasty during AMI?
The angioplasty is generally safe and effective. However, it's essential to be aware of potential complications. Such as: Bleeding at the site of catheter insertion. Blood clots can dislodge and may block smaller blood vessels. Infection at the insertion site. Allergic reactions to the contrast dye. Kidney damage due to contrast dye. Temporary irregular heart rhythms. Blood clots might form within the stent, causing sent thrombosis.
How long is the recovery period after angioplasty during AMI?
Recovery times can vary from person to person. Some people may bounce back quickly, while others might need a bit longer.
However, after the procedure, you'll typically need to stay in the hospital for a day or two for observation and monitoring. Most patients can resume light activities within a day or two. The amount of time you need to take work off will depend on your work and how you feel.
Will I be awake during angioplasty?
Generally, you will receive local anesthesia or mild sedation to numb the area and help you relax. This means you won't feel pain during the procedure but might feel discomfort. Sedation can make you feel drowsy during the procedure, but you'll still be able to respond to instructions from your doctor.
How long does the angioplasty procedure take?
On average, the angioplasty takes around 30 minutes to 2 hours. Simple angioplasties with straightforward blockages get completed relatively quickly. However, angioplasty involving multiple blockages or difficult-to-reach arteries could take longer.
Is angioplasty always the best option during myocardial infarction?
