Passed my first Angiogram!!!
« Reply #30 on: May 31, 2007, 11:43:15 PM »
A couple things were different about my angioplasty. I had an airbag clamp gizmo they strapped to my leg to prevent bleeding. I think it was called a cathclamp. No being sandbag strapped to the table after surgery, but I had to wear it for 8 hours.

I could be very wrong, but I don't remember it taking 20 minutes for the Doc to remove my cath. It was all very bang-zoom. I was in and out in under an hour.

Glad all went well Mac.

Had one back in 1989 after a small heart attack, they found a cardiac bridge.
[Knock on wood] No problems since.
When my late Father had one his incision leaked badly. I even called the nurse to get the surgeon back in but he didn't think it was much to get worried about.

The NURSE!!! geez no child left behind.

rpm it was a nurse in the room that I was preped in that removed the Cath.. I asked her why it was taking so long to remove it too...

The lil sandbag I had to wear for 48 hours and was removed in a shower...

Are you talking about a Foley or the cath used in the angio? I didn't get a Foley. I turned that little bit o' joy down. If a nurse removed your cath used for the angio call a lawyer now.

Had a Cath Bro... asked her why she was watching the clock...

She replied it takes a bit to remove it... I asked her how long and she said 20 minutes, slowly.

Hell I was ready to rip it out when the Dr claimed it was all over...

Wish I had the Vicidin... I was screwed over.
