After having an angioplasty to have a couple of stents,
how much rest is needed before an Air travel?

Are there any complications involved in having an
angioplasty and stents in general and Air Travel in
particular?

Since most air travel involves the carrying of luggage and
possibly even driving to the airport, most cardiologist
would probably advise at least three days and possibly even
a week before such travel.

Yes, these should have been reviewed with you before you
gave informed consent.

If you are having shortness of breath symptoms, your
cardiologist may not want you to fly because this can worsen
possible underlying congestive heart failure.
