Ever seen inside one ?Yep not a problem, in the wrist with mine. Fantastic to watch! I then had a stress MIR which was worse as that was so claustrophobic. Found a narrowing but treating with medication at the moment. Fantastic people at Wonford Exeter.

Same for my husband, he had his done a couple of years ago.My husband had one done last year. They fitted the stent via his wrist and it's made a huge difference to him - we now realise how ill he was.

This time last year I was only 8 weeks out from a heart bypass and was already "throwing some shapes" at Canopus soul meet... !!
One year on and it seems so far away. Makes you appreciate "the fun" even more..

reading between the line there will be a lot of secondhand vans up soon when the magic age is reached.

Arterial blood goes a long way.the scream of "oh f**k brought a nurse crashing in to discover the bandage on my wrist where they went in had come off. Nearly gave me a heart attack!
Did not know they pumped it up to 10psi PJ, no wonder it was uncomfortable on my wrist until the pressure was releasedArterial blood goes a long way.
I had a balloon wristband type gizmo on my wrist.
Pumped it up to about 10psi then release 2psi every 20 minutes....had to remain laid down.
Once it was deflated the artery had sealed and they stuck a tiny round plaster on the puncture wound.
I had to keep an eye on it for a few hours....Just in case.
Still got the little red mark on my wrist after 16 months.

That's mixed news. Presumably you are on various meds but is there also advice on diet?

Family history is something you can't do much about sadly. High blood pressure and resultant strokes are very common on my mother's side of the family. Cancer, other than smoking related, seems rare on both sides of the family but that might be because few lived long enough to develop the common forms.Yes I'm on 6 different tablets a day now, I will question the doctor on my next appointment tomorrow, my family have a history of strokes, blood clots and brain tumours, fingers crossed.
Your right the Cardic rehab was excellent for me it gives you confidence about what you can do in the early stages and the advice was very helpfulI had an angiogram - catheter via the wrist to the coronary arteries. Not feasible to have an angioplasty (stents) so had a triple coronary bypass graft 4 years ago. All went well and back to kayaking, windsurfing and our motorhome trips.
The key is to stay positive and, if available, sign up for the NHS cardiac rehab (usually 6 week programme). I would say that as I'm a Physiotherapist.
All the very best to you.

I had an angiogram 4 years ago, nothing to worry about, they go in through your groin, you will have to shave off half of your pubes, because they go in 2 inches from your old chap, they put a disolving cork in the wound,just go steady for a few days. Unfortunately they could not stent me , so a triple bypass was required. All done 4monts later, living life to the full now, never felt better
