I'm having stent procedure to open my renal arteries. how long is the recovery?

Relatively quick: In general your renal arteries 'recover' right away, e.g. If you had renal hypertension due to stenosis it is resolved with the percutaneous revascularization. The recovery is for the groin access: most people stay overnight and restrict (some) activities for 1-2 weeks. A week is usually sufficient.

Short: Some do these as outpatients, but most admit overnight. Light lifting and activity for 3-5 days is typical if there are no complications.

Few days: My patients stay one night in the hospital. Some doctors send patients home same day. Light activity one week so no bleeding at groin puncture site.
