Frequently Asked Questions

Is cardiac catheterization painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia. Most patients feel only mild pressure, not pain. Sedation is available if needed.
How long does recovery take after a stent?
Recovery time varies depending on the patient and the type of procedure. Many patients can return to light activities within a few days, while full recovery may take longer. The cardiologist will provide specific guidance based on the individual case.
Does my insurance cover cardiac catheterization?
Coverage depends on the insurance provider and policy. Patients should check with their insurance company or UHS before the procedure to confirm eligibility, coverage, and any required approvals.
What should I do if I have chest pain before my appointment?
If chest pain is severe, persistent, or accompanied by shortness of breath, sweating, nausea, or dizziness, seek emergency medical care immediately rather than waiting for the appointment.
