Hi,
Thanks for posting your query.
No, this is not routine.
Angiography can not lead to bleeding in stool. It is possible that during procedure or in routine you might be taking some medicines like blood thinner which might have caused bleeding.
Please get in touch with your doctor and inform him. Avoid straining at stool.
Take light diet, avoid heavy fried foods and maize products which can cause constipation.
Please talk to your doctor to further investigate the cause.
I hope this answers your query, I will glad to reply any follow up queries that you have.
Regards.
