Depending on level and intensity of running. If no cp can start running even after a few days. If anything we actually fixed the blockage and stent is a same day procedure so no restrictions. If it was done through the wrist to weight lift would be careful for few days.

If the stent was done for a blockage you can start running now. If the stent was done to rescue you from a heart attack, it is best to check with your doctor before beginning an exercise program.
