After angioplasty, you will be moved to a recovery room or to the coronary care unit. Your heart rate, pulse, and blood pressure will be closely monitored and the catheter insertion site checked for bleeding. You will have a large bandage or a compression device at your groin and the catheter insertion site to prevent bleeding. You will be instructed to keep your leg straight if the insertion site is at your groin.
