I have one stent in my azygos, two ballooning, and looking at the x-rays of the procedure I couldn't see where the stent is, T1? T2? or where ever. i am not an expert and the location is not idenified, at least not that i can see. Does anyone know where their stent(s) are without guessing?

(i thought i had two stents, but it's one)

Hi Alby!
I can see it very clearly on the CD from my procedure. My stent is in my left jugular - lower part. They also gave me some printed pictures and I can see the stent there.

Hi! Yes, I know exactly where they are, what they are, size, diameter, etc. and I know this because I have a copy of the surgical report and post -op letter Dr. Dake wrote.
I keep a copy in my purse at all times. and I have extra copies to give all my MDs and anyone who is interested.
Having a copy ready for my other physicians to read and put in my file had been very impressive. There have been more than a few "WOW"s!!
So, I suggest you request copies of the letters for yourself and it is important information to have in your chart for other doctors and dentist.
I great ice breaker at parties, also!!
Sincerely, Rose

thanks Rose, i think all those who've done their procedure in poland should be concerned about it too. i've written an email to dr. Ludyga a few days ago and haven't heard back yet. let's see if he responds.
