What Causes Floaters In Eyes After Angioplasty?

Hello, I just recently had an angioplasty and experienced floaters in both eyes when being taken back to my room. I was released from the hospital yesterday and experienced the same floaters in both eyes today. Both times the floaters lasted for approximately 15 minutes. I had very good results from the angioplasty and didnt require any stents. Should I be worried about the floaters?

angioplasty and floaters are not related. get your eye examined like fund-us. retinal hole tear or detachment should be excluded. if normal then have review after 6months
