What Are The Chances Of Bleeding After Angiography With Femoral Catheterization?
Question: I had an angiogram with femoral catherization 72 hours ago. I have an angio seal, and there have been no complications. Do I have to worry about bleeding still?
Brief Answer:
No, clot must have been formed till now. Bleeding is least likely
Detailed Answer:
Hi! Welcome to health care magic!
Since 72 hours have passed till now, and it is enough time for the clot to be formed and organise itself, and to cover the site of puncture, that makes it less likely to bleed now. Hope the outcomes of your catheterization, be successful for whatever reasons you have done it.
Hoping you a speedy recovery. If you dont have any more questions, please close the discussion. In future, you can reach me directly through my profile for any more queries. Regards
