I also had extensive bruising after stenting. Some was immediately after the procedure as they went into my drawing in that area took a long time to fade. After the procedure, I believe the bruising was due to prescription aspirin because when I was able to stop that, the bruising also stopped. Discuss meds with your team for sure

thanks the BRUISING is ridiculous all the way down my right leg to almost the ankle. NEVER SAW anything like it. My appointment (two weeks with the REGISTERED NURSE) is in a few hours and I am going to ask...thanks for easing my mind...Margaret O
