What Causes Neck Stiffness After Heart Catheterization?

My husband recently had a heart cathorization done and they found a blocked artery in the back of his heart. They worked on him but could not clear it totally. He is scheduled to go back in two weeks. He has been dealing with a sore neck (stiff) since Tuesday. Doesn t remember pulling any muscles as they told him not to do any work for the two weeks. Could this stiff neck be related to his heart cathorization?
