Hello , In Mumbai generally patients are discharged by 2nd day of angioplasty.
As such if angioplasty was an elective procedure and all the blocks have been treated . You can start working from next day itself , and light exercise from 5 th day .
If you had a Heart attack and angioplasty was done as rescue treatment, take a weeks rest for safety .
70 % lesion are boder line and can be treated both by medical therapy or angioplasty, the decision about that is taken by doing FFR ( functional flow reaerve) during angiography.
Hoping I could help.
