Peeps, catheterization and stent placements are NOT "heart surgery" they are "cardiac procedures". Surgery is when they put you to sleep and open you up. I know I'm being pedantic, but I spent quite a few years preparing people for both things. One is a Very Big Deal. The other is a big deal but it's not surgery. Sorry to be so picky but it drives me nuts. /getting off old nurse soapbox now
