So is that a super magnified junk shot?

Have at. The details I know are that they detected a blockage and they are going in to look for it and deal with it if they need to.
they detect the blockage by injecting dye into the arteries and looking at the body under a fluoroscope, blood flow can be seen due to the dye, so a blockage can be detected by lack of movement. Once they find the blockage they will insert a catheter into a large artery/vein, usually the femoral, which runs up the leg, use the catheter to remove the clot basically by grabbing it and pulling it out, if that isnt possible they will insert a stent to aid blood flow past/through the blockage.

Its not a huge deal to have a blockage, the body has a natural compensation method, depending upon where the blockage occured it could just be left alone. The risk is that the blockage moves and becomes lodged in a different part of the body, ie lungs/brain, where it could become a real problem, so that is why they are removing it.

All in all, a couple hours at the most, its usually done under mild sedation.

Cool... Let's just hope that's all there is to it. Thanks Derick!

Celebrities probaly make fake user names and shit all the time. Who knows, maybe we have all chatted online with a celebrity, and had no idea.

That would be crazy.....

And it would explain the tales of driving around in a Lotus Elise with porn stars.
