Could be venous: I am assuming you had heart cath via your femoral artery and vein and you had heart coronary angioplasty and stent your leg swelling is from the vein in the legs DVT already ruled out by negative test you need leg elevation and pressure support stocking to minimize the swelling check with your doctor good luck

Swelling: That's relatively common if your legs had poor blood supply. Recommend elevation of legs and possibly some diuretics
