Updated animation will include: 1) At the beginning, when it is stated that the patient is placed on a table for the procedure, there will be a statement that many patients experience some back discomfort from lying on the table at the end of the procedure. 2) Will indicate that many patients will end up undergoing a procedure at the end of the catheterization based on the results of the angiogram.
