A member asked:
Patient got up immediately after a balloon angioplasty, started to get dressed (patient was confused), what complications could we be looking at?

Probably none: The only problem would be bleeding from the puncture site or a pseudoaneurysm . If the surgeon used a closure device at the puncture site then probably no problem.

Bleeding : Possibly bleeding or dizziness or pseudo aneurysm !

Up after pasty: If there was not swelling or complaint of pain at the puncture site then no adverse event likely came from getting up so soon.
