Does An External Iliac Artery Stent Deployment Take Long To Heal?
Three days ago I had a stent put in my external iliac artery (right leg). I was given no information about after care or exercise, or how long my recovery might take. I have been gently walking short distances maybe 200 meters or so. I also have to walk up one flight of stairs where I live. So far I see no improvement compared to before the procedure. Has the stenting been a failure, how long should recovery take.
