I've undergone heart catherization through the femoral artery four times now!
Been awake for all four! Including when they put in the stents... I'm up to 5
stents so far ;-) Plus I had a triple-bypass -- but I was unconscious for
that, for 8 hours!
Did you kow they use a hand held circular saw to open you up ??

I had a buddy who got a heart cath where they went in through a
femoral artery (leg). They gave him the dope and when they started
doing the procedure he said in a loud voice "Hey! I'm still awake
here!"
