Itching after angioplasty
My mother underwent an angioplasty almost 1.5 months back. She has one stent implant. She had developed itching and rashes on her calves a week before which is reduced now. Is this a side effect against the stent or due to medicines? If yes how can we reduce this?

No it's not stent related. Consult a dermatologist

Allergic reactions to stents and cardiac medicines are very rare. As it's reduced, continue the medicines.
If it recurs get a dermatologist opinion.
