Ecografía intravascular - Recovery

Nombres alternativos

IVUS; Ecografía de las arterias coronarias; Ecografía endovascular; Ecocardiografía intravascular

Después del procedimiento:

Después del examen, se retira completamente el catéter y se coloca un vendaje en el área. A usted generalmente se le solicita acostarse boca arriba con presión en el área inguinal durante unas cuantas horas después del procedimiento para prevenir sangrado.

Si la ecografía intravascular se llevó a cabo durante un procedimiento de cateterismo cardíaco, usted 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. Esta ecografía no se le agrega al tiempo que usted tiene que permanecer en el hospital.
