Good luck and try not to worry too much. It's generally an easy procedure with a low percentage of complications.

If a stint is needed it's going to have to be in a hospital. But they won't know until they do the heart Cath . As for the anesthesiologist even in a hospital setting Your drugs are given by typically the nurse on staff using versed or fentanyl. Sometimes you may get a CRNA. But it's not typical.
