Because you will have a healing puncture wound in a major artery
(femoral), it would be wise to refrain for at least 7 days from any
travel such as driving an automobile (ok to be a passenger) or flying
in an aircraft (lifting luggage and pressure changes could be
hazardous) because of associated increased risk for acute arterial
bleeding. Depending on other comorbid factors and how your angiogram
goes, your cardiologist may extend this restriction additional days or
weeks.
