A member asked:
How long does it take for your groin area to recover from a cardiac catherization?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Typically 7-10 days.: Typically 7 to 10 days. However it depends on diagnostic versus interventional procedures. If there is bleeding, recovery would be longer. Also, if closure device was used, there might be discomfort for a longer period of time.
