Because of the extra risk, he was kept in the hospital for a few days. It was the easiest of all the procedures they did on him. Caused him no issues and id'd the issues, which vessles were blocked and how much. It's been ages, but I think they reamed out several of the big vessles and he was much better afterwards.
