How long does it take for a cardiac catheterization to heal?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Cardiac Cath: It depends on if you had the cath through your wrist or your groin. Are you talking about the cath site or the heart? And what did they do in your heart? Did they ballon it, put in a stent, did they put in a valve? You see there are many variables, so pick up they phone and call the cardiologist who dis the procedure and ask him/her your specific questions.
