That's really wonderful, happy for you. :D So, you had one stent and was there just one stenosis/narrowing? What about medicine after stent-operation?

If I had your persistence, there's nothing I couldn't do! Talk about crawling over broken glass to get something you want and staying steadfast in your determination. Of all the people who have received this, I think you take the prize for making it happen despite all obstacles. Bravo to you Erika! I hope you respond to this greatly!

Erica... I am so happy that everything went so well !!! The ultrasound found the stenosis and you had it fixed !!! I am enrolled in Dr. Haacke's imaging study in Detroit. I will have my scans on December 7. I am worried that the results will be negative since I am NOT having ultrasound like you did. Dr. Haacke did tell me that I would get my results, 3D graphics of my veins.
