Carol -- these are questions you should ask your
cardiologist -- but from what we've heard, six weeks shouldn't be a problem,
assuming there are no complications or other concerns that your cardiologist
might have (that's why this -- or any other "remote" comments cannot be
taken as medical advice).

Lizzie -- we don't give out specific medical advice,
and we're not sure what we could say that would be more definitive than
your cardiologist saying "fine". That being said, if you have
had no complications, and especially no bleeding complications, you should
be ok. The only problem
we see would be an undetected complication -- which is rare. Did you have
a femoral or radial cath?

Had a cardiac catheterisation yesterday afternoon,
and want to know how safe it is to do a long haul flight 72 hours later.
Arteries appear clear. The doctor says it should be 'fine' but I feel
I need something more definitive.
