You have had a peripheral angiogram. This is a test that allows your doctor to look inside your arteries. To do the test, a small puncture was made in one of your arteries. Please follow these instructions as you recover from this procedure. You should not drive for 48 hours after the procedure. Go back to taking any medicine you were on before, unless your doctor has told you otherwise. You may take acetaminophen (Tylenol) every 6 hours as needed for pain in the area where the catheter was placed. If pain is not relieved with acetaminophen, contact your doctor. For at least one week, you should not lift, push, or pull anything heavier than 10 pounds or do any exercise that causes you to hold your breath and bear down with your abdominal muscles. One week after the procedure, you may resume your regular activities, including sexual activity. After one week, we suggest that you begin your exercise program at half your usual routine for the first few days, then gradually work back to your full routine You should not bathe or swim until the puncture site is healed. This usually takes about a week. You may remove the Band-Aid over your puncture site and shower tomorrow. You may notice a small bruise around the puncture site. This is normal and will go away in 1-2 weeks. Ask your doctor when you may go back to work. This will depend on the type of work you do.","PeriodicalId":79743,"journal":{"name":"The Journal of cardiovascular management : the official journal of the American College of Cardiovascular Administrators","volume":"474 1","pages":"9-10"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"69633333","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
