    Complications and risks
    Complications such as bruising and bleeding at the catheter site are rare. More serious complications (heart attack, stroke, arrhythmia) are much rarer and usually occur in people who are already seriously ill. If you have chest pain, tell your doctor immediately.

    Pharmaceutical and food preparations
    Before the catheterization, be sure to talk to your doctor about any medications you are taking (especially blood thinners). You should not eat or drink anything from midnight the night before the angiogram. If you are allergic to the contrast material, a steroid injection and antihistamine can reduce the risk of complications.

    Postoperative care
    After angiography/angioplasty, you should lie down for a few hours and stretch your legs. You should not do any strenuous activity or lift heavy objects for 48 to 72 hours. Drink plenty of fluids to help flush out the contrast agent. Driving is not recommended for a few days after angioplasty.
