Not to alarm you or anything, but my dad went in for an angioplasty and they pushed a clot through before the heparin was in full effect. Stroked out on the table.
That was a number of years ago and I don’t know if high dose heparin is still a pretreatment.
This is just for your information and my dad made a 90-95% recovery from the stroke. And he’s still going good at 77.
Take it as a suggestion as a question to ask.
It turned out that a second opinion, after the fact, determined bypass surgery was what was needed, not an angioplasty.
Prayers Up!
I work with these patient post procedure. Complications with stents are rare and I’m sure the docs know what they’re doing.
