Angioplasty

Last Thursday, my husband went for a checkup at the cardiovascular center.  He had a stress test and the doctors were concerned.  He was admitted to the hospital and the following day he had a heart cath.  Two stents were placed in his LAD about 15 years ago and then another placed over these two in the last couple years.  The cath showed that he had a blockage below the stent, so he had an angioplasty and another stent was placed.  Already his body had started to grow blood vessels to go around the blockage.  My husband finds it extremely difficult to lay flat on his back for six hours so that the site in his groin where the cath enters will stop bleeding.  He was discharged on Saturday and went to work on Monday.
