There were 4 points of inflammation found that would lead to hyper coagulation, however, after my 3rd procedure those went down to normal levels within about a month. That was the first time I had it tested, and I did so just for the re...

No offense but this thread is about Tysabri. I was just making an off handed flip remark and it was really not my intention to troll off topic. If people want to start a thread on the dangers of angioplasty, it would be more appropriate to discuss it in a thread having that particular topic dangers ...

That was due to a stent, not angioplasty. The man was not allowed to be treated in his country because he had the angioplasty and a stent done in Costa Rica (far from his home).
