Angioplasty, stints, and all that other heart-related crap

Update

Dad had the heart cath today; doc found a 95% blockage in one artery; put a stint in it, and dad's recovering in the ICU, where he has a new batch of skirts he's already flirting with.

Do you know if they used the medicinal stint or did the go with the plain metal?

It was a medicated stent ... supposedly to help prevent further blockages and help the tissue heal.

I think I was told it was the medicinal stint. Jenn is probably making sure the DQ is in the tub.

I hope he has a speedy recovery

My Mom has one and has been doing great. It sounds like he's on the mend.
