"Had a Stent inserted"

About: South West Acute Hospital / Cardiac investigations Tyrone and Fermanagh Hospital / Cardiac Rehabilitation

(as the patient),

I was suffering angina when involved in strenuous exercise. I mentioned this to my local GP, who recommended I have some tests. These tests revelaed that one of my main arteries was severely blocked.

I had a stent fitted last April, and immediately felt the benefit. I am very grateful for this marvelous technology which allowed my artery to be repaired by using a small incision at my wrist.
