If it wasn't for the frankly amazing technology of the stent, neither of us would be here to have this conversation. I still find it amazing that someone could fix the artery on my heart by poking something up the blood vessel in my wrist. I tried to watch the operation on the monitors whilst it was going on, but my surgeon told me off (in his EU accent... - the monitors are for me, not you, this isn't a spectator sport you know...)
Hope it all goes well for you Les - BTW the Papst motor is working brilliantly on my Skeleton!
