I would appreciate hearing experiences from anyone who had venoplasty done w/o stent, developed a clot that blocked their internal jugular, and decided to have it corrected. Please tell me the procedure used, the time lapse between clotting and decision to remove, and the outcome.
(PM if you want to discuss privately.)

I have seen Denise's videos, thanks. She was Dr. Siskin's first patient, I believe. She has many stents.

I have been on blood thinners ever since. In the meantime gt hold of some nattokinase (200mg per day) it might not do anything but its worth a shot x
Not sure of outcome as dr refuses to rescan as if it has reclotted nothing can be done. He would prefer me not to know psychologically!
How are your symptoms?

LR, it's always good to hear from you and know you are doing OK now because your initial complications from the clot were quite alarming.
