? need stent for FMD: Unusual to need stent for fmd. Stents have their own long term renarrowing issues. If BP well controlled would be reluctant at age 38 to pursue stenting. If BP poorly controlled, consider repeat angioplasty, only.

Recovery time varies: Recover time will vary depending on many factors including age, general health of the patient, infection control, smoker or not, blood sugar control, the exact type of procedure, and post-operative and follow up care. Discuss it with your surgeon and get their opinion as to what they feel is a reasonable recovery time for you.
