I an going in to the heart center in the am . Going to have a heart cath done and possibly some stents . Hopefully they said I should be able to come home the same day . Wish me luck .
I arrived at the heart center at 5:15 am and was in a room at 6:00;. In the cath lab at 7. First pt.of the day . Entire procedure was over with in 45 minutes . I was home by 12 noon .I am apparently part of the 20 % of folks who generate false positives at times on scanning . NO blockages anywhere and everything was normal at least normal for me. The aortic aneurysm they identified measures 4.2 cm and is stable . Just needs to be monitored. God hears prayers and delivers on his promises. Thank you friends .Though we probably will never meet face to face I want you to know I appreciate all of you .

Best of luck to you, better to get it done in a preventive maintenance way, than have your heart telling you to get done like mine did.

Tour be fine
What they can do now, is somewhat unbelievable. My aortic valve was malfunctioning due to calcium buildup. Thus, a TAVR procedure was done.
Up thru the groin with a valve the diameter of a pencil. Shoved directly into the existing aortic valve, expanded and done. Home the next day.
Valve leaflets are from bovine heart tissue. The metal ‘cage’ is composed of numerous metals. It was a piece of cake. Albeit, my pucker factor was a ‘little’ elevated.
Trust the Doctors and you will be fine. Here’s the end result ,,,,,, they gave me an exact replicant for a souvenir ,,,,, 🤣
Good luck! Let us know how it goes as soon as you can.
prayers it goes well.
Prayers for success and a quick recovery. My MIL is in line to get the procedure Forge explained.
