Has anyone here managed to have successful keyhole heart surgery, despite being unable to have contrast dye for CT scan? Were their surgical team able to obtain clear imagery despite this issue? If so, are you willing to share how they did please?

Thank you SO much for your reply. Your timing is uncannily perfect, as I navigate the challenging stresses of the pre-op assessments, with unhelpful allergies. I'm very grateful 🙏 It's very encouraging to hear of your success and fantastic to hear you're living your life to the full again. Well done for your courage to go through it all and very best wishes to you!
