A Stent is not like a bandage. It is like a balloon that is opens up inside an artery to allow bllod to flow through it. They will run a wire through your main artery starting around yer groin area. Iffenya had any modesty before, ya won't after this. That is when I lost mine.
Be sure to shave as much "fur" off yer lower abdominal area because they will do that at the hospital..
You will be given a HALO drug. You won't be put under but you also won;t remember anything either. The heart doc told my wofe some dozen years I had about a 60 percent blockage in one artery. I do;t know if I still do or not but I passed a couple of stress tests with flying colors so it cant be too bad..
You will be fine and if this is all that is really going on, that would be awesome! Hope they get you stented and yer blood flows like normal once again !
Best to you!
