Yes, definitely a modern miracle! This procedure cannot always be carried out though, it depends on any other problems that may be present. My friend had a weak aorta so had to have the more invasive procedure.
Something I do know from my own experience of another, similar procedure investigating a heart attack, is that it's so very weird seeing the inside of your own heart and arteries on four screens alongside the operating table, it's beating away and all I had was a sedative!
