Invasive Coronary Angiogram

So after one stent in Spain in 2019, cardiologist is putting me forward for the above.

Positive thoughts would be appreciated

thanks

I had an angiogram last year. Slightly uncomfortable but painless.

It's the word 'invasive' that makes it sound scary!

But that just means that a catheter will enter your body. Honestly, it's nothing to be worried about.

Thanks mate think the word invasive freaked me out

No worries. The procedures and tests that I had to have before my bypass worried me too but none of them were painful. Even the operation was more manageable than I expected it to be. Good luck.

If you had a stent inserted it would have been done by Invasive Coronary Angiogram so you have already had one

In medical terms pretty well any procedure which goes into your body by making a hole in it or inserting an instrument through an existing opening is seen as invasive

I have had three. Nothing at all to worry about.
