Ecografía intravascular - Recuperación

Nombres alternativos

IVUS; Ecografía de las arterias coronarias; Ecografía endovascular; Ultrasonido de las arterias coronarias

Expectativas después de la cirugía:

Después del examen, se retira el catéter y se coloca un vendaje en el área. A la persona generalmente se le solicita acostarse sobre la espalda durante unas cuantas horas después del procedimiento para prevenir sangrado.

Si la ecografía intravascular se llevó a cabo durante un procedimiento de cateterismo cardíaco, la persona permanecerá en el hospital durante aproximadamente 3 a 6 horas, pero si la ecografía se realizó durante una angioplastia, la estadía en el hospital será de 12 a 24 horas.
