" My angioplasty operation was an instant releif . The pain seized to exist as quickly as pulling a sliver. I know it's an odd comparison but honestly I could feel the blood flow through the blocked arteries and all the pain vanish as quckly as snapping your fingers. I really don't know how long angioplasty lasts but with time I have felt some unwanted chest pressure and the occasion poke or jab when I least expect it. The Meds all seem to help and I think angioplasty was effective for me ,but if anything was complicated that would be the catheter through the arm leaves the arm quite sore for a week . "
