Ok, left my room at 2:00 back in a critical care room at 9:00 with 2 new stents. . After the initial entry and with a mild sedative, I watched the entire procedure in real time on the huge screen at my left side.
So it was very close, the left Circumflex artery was blocked in 2 places. I don't know if it was total or what percentage yet, the doc will visit in the morning. I do know when he would squirt the dye in, part of this artery would show sometimes for a split second and then just disappear.
Spent 3 hours in the recovery room dealing with the artery closure brace that is pressurized to stop the blood flow and give the entry wound time to clot. This is slowly deflated over time.
Maybe out of critical care tomorrow or Wednesday depending on a few dangers inherent to this procedure.
Dodged a big bullet
Thank everyone for your wonderful prayers and concerns.
I am extremely happy to be able to say....
KTQ!
