What happens after an endovascular procedure?
After an endovascular procedure, you will need to lie flat for several hours without moving the leg that was treated to prevent bleeding from the puncture site. Many patients are able to return home the same day of the procedure. After endovascular treatment, most people with P.A.D. return to their daily routine and a more active and independent life within a few days. To keep your legs healthy, it is very important to make the lifestyle changes and take the medicines needed to control your heart disease risk factors.
