- Unfortunately we see many cases like Sister Burns', said NSMC Chief of Cardiology David Roberts, M.D. "Symptoms can mask themselves as something minor that patients often ignore." By entering through a patient’s wrist instead of the groin area, the patient recovers faster, has less pain and there is a much smaller risk of bleeding and major complications,” said Dr. Roberts. After the procedure, a patient can stand immediately and may even go home that same day. Patients who undergo a radial artery catheterization require nothing more than a Band-Aid on their wrist. To keep Sister Burns’ heart strong and to help her recover, she has joined NSMC’s Cardiac Rehabilitation Program, which teaches cardiac patients about healthy eating, stress management and how to create and maintain an exercise program.
