Is Body Massage Safe After Angioplasty?
Hi My mother in law is 77 years old - housewife. She has undergone angioplasty thrice with 5 stents. The last one happened 7 days back only. Kindly advise if body massage will be suitable for her. She has been taking massage since last 6 months. Thank you A. Sarkar

Hi,
* The body massage can be considered provided that there is no extra compression over chest or back region, which can provoke angina type symptoms in granny of 77 years undergone angioplasty 7 days back.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
