• How long after a heart stent can you drive?

I got a heart attack 10 days ago. I want to know how long after a heart stent can you drive?

I don’t see why one cannot drive right after stent placement following a heart attack. If the cardiologist did not place any restrictions, then a patient should be able to drive within a couple of days after a heart attack and stent placement.

About one week, depends if done from arm or groin.
