Cath Updates

Cath Update 1:

Lines are placed. They are taking measurements now.

Cath Update 2:

Balloon dilating the right side now.

Cath Update 3:

Still balloon dilating.

Cath Update 4:

They ran into some trouble with the left pulmonary veins. Dr Esch has placed a another stent.

It will be another hour or so in the cath lab.

Cath Update 5:

Cath is complete. Dr Friedman and Dr Esch talked with us. The upper left pulmonary vein was moderately closed off. The Glenn pressures are still high but slightly less than last time. The function is ok. The right side of his pulmonary veins looked great before the dilation.

Dr Esch is hopeful the left pulmonary veins will respond to the stents as well as the right pulmonary veins have.

Next cath in 6 months.

Dr. Friedman has cancelled the ablation and will chat with us in the morning.

If all goes well tonight… I don’t want to jinx it. 🤞

Please, please send good thoughts and/or prayers.

Thank you so.

Hugs and love ❤
