Dr. Lehr put me at ease and made it clear my safety was his top priority therefore he ordered another procedure to make sure he will know with certainty the route he should take when operating on my heart. Of course he will also be looking carefully at the results of the preop CT scan as well in addition to the coronary angiogram he ordered. Im feeling in goid hands for thus operation
