Hi MRH: I have some guideliness that you should look at: http://www.woema.org/files/3.MedicalImplicationsofAirTravel_Stepanek.pdfGenerally
You are flying less than 2 weeks following the procedure. If you had an MI or unstable cardiac condition this isn't recommended. For a simple, PTCA with no complications then it may be safe, but you must check with the cardiologist who did your intervention. They should give you clearance.
If you haven't checked then I would err on the side of safety and not go.
