They asked if I wanted a sedative - said no. The catheter was inserted into my wrist (with the groin prepped for backup) which was only mildly uncomfortable. After than, felt nothing, including the insertion of a stent. Took about 15 minutes in all. Pretty easy.

Why are they waiting for your procedure? AFAIK it should be performed ASAP to minimize damage. Maybe they think the attack was not caused by a blockage?
