The surgery is "endovascular"...the doctor sends a catheter up thru the groin area inside the veins, all the way up to the area that needs opening. Jeff's blockage was in both his jugulars, so the stents were put in there. This is what Dr. Zamboni is able to do for the Italian patients he's treating. Jeff feels GREAT! Read about it here:wobbly wrote:how did they do the stent/ did they cut his neck open/ how the heck is he feeling--good i hope/ california sounds good but if this is going on i would hope the jacobs place would be lined up 4 it/ HOPE ----WE NEED IT
Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but it seems a little strange (and a little scary) to me that the doctors in Italy wouldn't know about the stent procedure. This is a fairly common procedure, particularly for blocked arteries.wobbly wrote:give me some news abt the stent/ when i was in italy they were trying 2 figure 1 out/ now there seems 2 be 1/ who invented it/ seems like this thing really has wings/ STAY STRONG ALL --PEACE
They understand it quite well, patient. They have used it in Italian MS patients as Dr. Zamboni's "liberation procedure"...however, since wobbly is American, he was not able to have the stent. There are international medical ethics boards which govern these procedures in the research phase. (Dr. Simka is now appealing to his in Poland to use stent procedures in MS patients.) From what I understand, wobbly was just screened and had a "clean up" while he was in Italy. The "figuring out" part wobbly refers to was how to get a stent approved for international use. This is why I got Dr. Dake involved, so American patients could benefit from this research, and receive diagnosis and FDA approved stent treatment in the states -until there is an international consensus- it will be different in every country.patientx wrote:Maybe I'm misunderstanding the question, but it seems a little strange (and a little scary) to me that the doctors in Italy wouldn't know about the stent procedure.
