Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thanks for your query.
I understand your concern.
Was the stenting procedure done through the artery in the right arm? If so there may be some transient weakness.
If not it is not a normal aftereffect of stenting.
You should consult your doctor and get examined to know the cause.
