My dads had this 2-3 times. He said it was no biggie. They put him to sleep and he said it was more annoying after than anything else.

@sassywvgirl, well that’s going to be a long three days 😑 sorry to hear. Hopefully it goes by fast and your able to not dwell on it.

I work in cardiology. A cath typically isn’t that big of a deal in our world. Patients usually go home the same day, once bleeding has stopped, and told to take it easy for a few days. If they have to do any stenting then it’s usually just an overnight stay. The most annoying part is the compression bandage and not being able to move your leg for a few hours

They do it in the leg? I heard it was the growing area

@sassywvgirl, the groin is the crease where your thigh meets your hip. They put the lead wire in through a vein, so they don’t want you to move your leg with the compression bandage on so the tiny puncture can heal
