Hi,

You are on blood thinners like Brilinta. Blood in urine is due to that. It is not due to the primary procedure of angioplasty. See a cardiologist to titrate/stop blood thinners.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. AJEET SINGH, General & Family Physician
