I don't know about this surgery, but if someone knows how to do it (doctors) it's probably been done before.  Talk with your doctor before hand, ask any questions, and try not worry.  Ask about stats on the procedure so he or she can make you feel better about it.  You want to go into any surgery, with a more peaceful mind.

Read up a bit on this type of procedure. From the info I read along with time spent after in the hospital, it appears to be a pretty common procedure now. 

From reading this and knowing from my own Stent Angioplasty Procedures, it doesn't seem to be much different than mine. By that I mean, other than done in a different area of the body.

I remember pretty vividly watching my 2nd Stent Angioplasty with my 2nd heart attack. It was amazing for me to see exactly what they were doing, right to the point where I could breathe much easier. 

Wanted to add a little to my other post after understanding a bit more about this procedure. It looked to me that the entry point for this procedure is the same as my 2 Stent Angioplasties, the groin. I can relate to all that, but not to your leg issues.

Again I want to send my best wishes to you and to say, try to relax. 

As far as hockey? Tonight is a BIG one for my household.

I go through all the same feelings and anxiety whenever I have medical procedures coming up, @781Florist .   It was a great idea to seek info and support from this broad array of posters here.   'Let not your heart be troubled'.

For me personally, even just fragments of the magnificent poetry of the 23rd Psalm, running through my sometimes anxiety-overtaken brain, have such a calming effect.

My family has genetically handed-down heart anomalies, and my Dad survived multiple heart interventions and lived heartily to age 90.  Will be thinking of you mid-May. Sending prayers for total success, and excellent recovery that sends your quality of life soaring, friend.

I've had multiple heart procedures in the cath lab.  Except for laying flat on my back with my leg propped up and a sandbag on my hip, the recovery wasn't uncomfortable.

I have also been in a Cath Lab many times for heart procedures. "Flat on my back, Yes. "Leg propped up and a sandbag on my hip", Never !  Ya lost me on this one.

681florist sending you prayers and well wishes for a speedy recovery.

Just a note of thanks to all of you for your kind words, advice, warm wishes and prayers.

Sometimes going into something fearsome is made so much easier because you draw  strength from every available source.

I am supremely blessed to be one of nine in my family.  7 sisters and 1 brother. (He's the youngest and I am the ol........uh, more senior member of the family.) 

One of my sisters now watches over us from heaven, while the rest of the group keep very close tabs and take great care of each other.

The fact that I now have this fine group of "friends never met" who have so kindly taken their time to express their care and concern is indeed an embarrassment of riches.

I include you all when I offer my thanks to God for His many blessings.

Looks as if we have the same malady. I was given the choice of this procedure and I am still considering it.

Sending you best wishes that you will recover quickly and are able to walk distances once again. Let us know how well you are doing after the surgery.
