Can Ablations be done for Emergency cases and is shaving also necessary for Stents
A few years back, an English musician I followed suffered a heart attack in Italy and was taken to the emergency.
>They hooked me up to a monitor, and right afterward, this nice man shaved my balls. But why, if I have a heart problem, were they shaving my balls?" Fripp then recounts that he underwent surgery to insert a stent, but, due to a trifurcate artery, he had to return for another stent before being able to attend the class.
My questions are
- Is shaving necessary for a stent? Do they enter from the groin like they do for an ablation?
- Is possible they may have considered an ablation?. This was an emergency case.
There was an language barrier and I wonder if he is seeing a cardiologist now.
