This is one of Dr. Siskin's patients. Clotting was caught quickly (within two days), she was re-treated, which involved an additional two stents being inserted. Also she was put on daily Lovenox & Coumadin! Either one alone is powerful anticoagulation. Are they safe in conjunction?
For now the outcome is holding steady and good, but the complication does make it a cautionary tale of sorts. Best wishes though that from this point forward it is smooth sailing.
