I was awake the whole procedure and could hear doc giving instructions to helper....no pain whatso ever. Had a heart ablation three weeks before for atrial fibrillation. I have permanent A-FIB because they never treated it (in time), they just gave Xarelto and told me not to worry about it. Now it's too late as too much time has passed and the various treatment procedures can't be used. w Last edited by walleyed; 01/23/24 06:09 PM.

I was lightly sedated and could see the screen very clearly. After the DR showed me the blockage, they increased the sleepy juice before they went back in to place the stent. The worst part of the whole procedure was the fella holding pressure on my groin for what seemed like forever after they removed the catheter. I had a heck of a bruise for a while but no bleeding. I had been diagnosed with A-Fib not caused by a valve problem. Several test and stress tests later, there was no indication of any blockage. The meds my DR put me on required that I be in the hospital for 3 days to be monitored. Since I was already in the hospital, my DR scheduled a couple more tests including the catherization where he found the 90% blockage of the widow maker and put in the stent that has kept me going. The medication helped but was not a cure. Seven years later, I had the ablation procedure done and said good bye to A-Fib. They have made great strides in controlling A-Fib with ablation. That is one of the best health decisions I have made. I got off the rhythm meds and have had a normal rhythm ever since. Life Member: NCTA, VTA, NTA, TTFHA, MFTI Member: FTA NRA NWTF

So they did this while you were awake and sitting there? Wide awake & Laying on my back, on a VERY narrow, and VERY short table for me at 6' foot, 3" inches. The OP room prep nurse started bi-aching cause she couldn't center me on the table. She wanted me to sit at a certain place on the table, and then lie down on my back & when I informed that her if I did, I'd be hanging head & shoulders off the end of the table but she insisted so down I went, and sure enough I was hanging 2 feet off the end with her very near coming unglued when the end result proved her very wrong. It took her & 6 other nurses, to get me re-situated on the table with a lot of wailing & gnashing of teeth by her for "my" (her) mistake for being wrong. Then they tape your arm/hand to a board to immobilize it and you get some sort of sedative to chill you out but you are wide awake, but the robotic equipment arm blocks your view of the action. Worst thing is eventually you have to scratch an itch on your face or head but your hand is immobilized and the other one has two IV's buried in the back of your hand & arm. I have (2) bad hip sockets and laying on my back agitates the nerves so there was that too. The doc eventually sent a nurse to itch my eyelid & temple to relieve my itch so all was good after a half hour of itch torture. Everything went fairly well. LOL !!! w Glad you’re doing well now. I had the same type of heart cath a few years ago. Mine was unplanned. I was having chest pains so they decided to do a cath and had me on the table the same way. Arm strapped down and naked as newborn. I remember listening to the Dr. scared and nervous. Also it was very cold in the room. Second procedure they gave me a shot and o don’t remember anything.

BernieB. trapper Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 5,266 Northern Minnesota	Year and a half ago I had a stent put in my right coronary artery. I had chest pain so I went in and I was having a heart attack. They kept me overnight and then did the stent in the morning, through a hole in my wrist. I was awake the whole time and it didn't take long. I didn't see any screens, they were all being viewed by the doctors and nurses. I was home before noon. Most days I do not even think about it. crazy what medicine can do these days. www.berniesbearcamp.com https://www.youtube.com/user/BowhuntingRoad/about
