I had two inserted a number of years ago. Blocked artreries that eventually would have caused a heart attack. Introduced by a sedated catherization through the groin.Doctor places it exactly where he wants. Life saving technique and I know several men that have had it done.

And then this....

They are very concerned about internal bleeding and keep a very close eye on you after the procedure. All in all, I've had 4 catheterizations....1 from my leg and 3 in my wrist.Recovery from wrist is 1/2 the time as from the leg.

I had one put in 4 or 5 years ago, in and out the same day, it was a piece of cake.


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

I had one in 2007 through the groin. Kept me from having a heart attack due to 90% blockage.

Yep. Mate of mine confided in me, couple or so years ago, that he was having one. When he said he'd be in and out the same day, my jaw nearly broke my toes!

2011 3 stents. Didn’t notice any difference the way I felt. I had a stress test last year and I was the first person they had that could complete the test in a long time. Made me feel good. They went through my groin and had a hard time to get bleeding to stop. I like the wrist idea.

Do they collapse or give out, or is that a thing of the past?

2010 had 95% blockage on my widow maker and they went in through my wrist and put in a stint. The med I had to take for a year made me bruise easily.

dad just had 3 in September

your choices in our family seem to be get roto-rootered out and get stents or die from the heart attack

just one more thing I will probably be doing in 20-25 years

My brother was having chest pains. Got checked out, found he had blockages. He had 3 stents inserted. He felt like a new man afterwards. That was over 5 years ago. Doing great ever since.

Went in for a STINT and when they ran the scope up there (and said not good, woke me up and said you need by pass) they determined i needed a QUAD BY PASS, a couple weeks later had the by pass done and feel great. so hang in its routine anymore
