The most common complaint during coronary artery balloon catheterization is:

The coronary artery balloon catheterization is a type of angioplasty procedure that opens up a narrowed, cholesterol blocked artery to ease out the blood flow. The interventional cardiologist is the person responsible in performing the said procedure. He will use a long, thin tube called a catheter that has a balloon on its tip. The balloon will be inflated in the blocked site of the artery so as to flatten or compress the plaque against the arterial wall.

If complications occur, they are not usually severe. The most common complaint is bleeding or discomfort at the site where the catheter was inserted. This, however, can be controlled by applying pressure on the site and taking pain reliever.
