How long does it take to recover from arm trauma after coronary angiography?

A

coronary angiogram is a minimally invasive procedure that involves inserting a catheter into an artery in the arm or leg and injecting contrast medium into the coronary artery of the heart to assess the condition of the coronary artery. During this procedure, the artery in the arm is punctured, which may cause some trauma and discomfort. Generally, arm injuries take 1-2 weeks to fully recover. During recovery, care should be taken to rest and protect the arm from excessive activity and injury. At the same time, ice packs or hot compresses can be used to relieve pain and discomfort, and medications can be used to prevent infection and promote healing.
