“But cutting into someone is surgery.”

There is no cutting. The stent is usually inserted by catheter through the groin area, up the artery to the heart.

my husbands stents didn't go through a catheter, they did go into the groin area with an incision ..

and we don't know how they did GWB, only the doctors reporting he HAD HEART SURGERY...

The worst part is the twelve hours of total immobility following that little groin incision into the artery.

The definately is an INCISION in the groin area-—they certainly are NOT going in thru the rectum & bowel or thru the bladder & kidney!!!

They have to get to a main artery which passes thru the groin area.

I don’t get where you don’t think this is surgery.

Really? Is there a porthole there?

[wastedyears]

Through a catheter? Hell, might as well be considered torture.

And how does it get into the groin? They cut into you.
