What Causes Leg Pain When Diagnosed With Acute Diabetes?

About angioplasty;
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
I have gone carefully through your concern.
After a successful revascularisation procedure, the clinical improvement is seen within a week and after 2-3 weeks there is no more pain.
So, in your wife's case, if the pain intensity continues to be the same, you should see the angiologist for an evaluation of the angioplasty.
Angioplasty uses a medical "balloon" to widen blocked arteries. The balloon presses against the inside wall of the artery to open the space and improve blood flow.
A metal stent is often placed across the artery wall to keep the artery from narrowing again. I do not know if the Stent is placed or the angiologist tried only to open the arteries with the balloon.
Probably she needs metallic scents to keep them open.
Hope the information will help.
Kind regards,
Dr.Mirjeta
