[quote="hwebb"] It's interesting about the asprin. They say asprin is very hard on the stomach lining. Wonder if the same is true for the vein lining (the endothelium)?
interesting point Helen, but actually l have extreme reactions to ANY drug l take, Panadol included. Go figure! my pesky upper right jug has re-stenosed, but not as long this time, thank goodness. l feel a bit like a bug on a microscope slide at present! however, feet still warmish, which l take heart from. l'll rest up a bit i think!
cheers all, nico

Hi Nico & All,
I am so sorry to hear that you have restenosed. But I am glad you are letting us know how you are doing. I had my procedure on July 13th and I know I was only one of six that had it done. Does anyone know how the other 5 are doing?

Hi Loulou,
I don't have any specific info that could help you, but if you search for "aneurysm" within the thisisms site - a lot of leads come up. You could read these threads to check the relevane, and try sending messages to any forum member who looks like they are in a similar situation. Their doctors may have given them a certain treatment path, or advice, which may prove useful for your situation.

Plavix, Long term ????

I thought Plavix was for 56 months not life, just the aspirin for life

Thanks for your good wishes - it's early days but I'm quietly confident he has made some improvements, as others have found.

Hey Phil-
Glad the docs got in there and cleaned you up. Jeff had a "thickening" in the lining of his left stent, found three months after the first procedure and it was ballooned. Dr. Dake didn't call it a restenosis, since blood was still moving thru it- he called it a problem with the endothelialization of the lining of the stent.... but at Jeff's check up in November, it looked great...the lining was smooth and even. Jeff will stay on Plavix and baby aspirin for life. Dr. Dake still scratches his head..."you guys have the weirdest veins!" This is why I tell people to stay local. For some cases, there will be tune ups and after care. I'm glad you've got some docs in your home area. I am heart broken over how Dr. Dake has been treated...but he's an amazingly resilient guy. We'll continue on....Boston Medical Center went public today
keep up posted,
cheer
