Heart Cath

Jack from Minneapolis, MN, asked:

Hi Julie,

A couple of weeks ago I went to the emergency room with chest pains. In order to learn if I had any blockages, a heart catheterization was performed. My arteries were clear and I was sent home early the next day.

Yesterday, I went for my follow-up visit with the cardiologist. The entry point for the heart cath procedure (my groin) was still very bruised, swollen, and painful, and I was told there may be a problem. I was immediately sent to the hospital for an ultrasound.

The ultrasound showed an aneurysm in my artery where the heart catheter was inserted.

Can you please scan me to see what’s going on? Thanks.

Hi Jack,

Wow, you’ve been through a lot in a short period of time.

In order to learn more about the cause of your symptoms, I energetically connected to you and got you on my radar.

I can see (in my mind’s eye) the aneurysm coming out of the clot that has formed in your femoral artery (groin area) where the catheter was inserted. It resembles a blister filled with blood. It’s called a pseudoaneurysm.

The Mayo Clinic website says, “A pseudoaneurysm, sometimes called a false aneurysm, occurs when a blood vessel wall is injured, and the blood is contained by the surrounding tissues.” It goes on to say, “A pseudoaneurysm can result from cardiac catheterization if blood leaks and pools outside your femoral artery where it was punctured when the catheter was inserted.” Sounds like this is what happened to you.

While scanning you, I saw an energetic healing occur that involved a couple of techniques currently used in hospitals to treat aneurysms.

First, I watched a long needle be inserted and a coagulant substance injected into the pseudoaneurysm. That solidified the bubble filled with blood. Next, I watched a graft get placed inside your artery to strengthen its outer walls. Arterial grafts look like a small tube made of fabric.

At this moment in time, I “get” your doctor will most likely inject a substance into the pseudoaneurysm to get it to clot. This will be done by an interventional radiologist who will use ultrasound technology to locate the pseudoaneurysm. I believe this procedure will be successful.

I also “get” you won’t need surgery and that you’ll make a full recovery.

Hope all goes well and hope you’re feeling better soon.
