My Mum was diagnosed with angina a few months ago and has had a couple of unpleasant episodes.
She's been through all the tests (dye in the bloodstream etc) and the consultant phoned her at 19:30 last night to inform her they'd looked at her results and an artery close to her heart is nearly blocked.
They intend to enter through her arm and insert a stent.
This is all very new for us and I don't know anyone who has had this done although I believe it is common. Has anyone any experience of this? Is it risky? Will she be ok?
I'll be there for her throughout obviously...
