Good Day Nigel: I had a similar experience. In 1995 I had angioplasty twice. The first operation did not go very well. They had to implant 2 stents (miniature slinkies) in the artery to hold it open and to use the paddles several times when my heart did not cooperate by beating correctly. The next morning my neuro commented "it was tough and go for a while". It was immediately after the first operation that a friend commented that I no longer swung my arms and I always looked sad. My neuro felt that the operations may have brought on the symptoms earlier than if I had not had the operation but was adamant that the operations had no effect on the progress of the disease.
