Ah yes, that will do it ..
Sometimes the surgeon doesn't know until they get in and see the condition of the vein.. but getting the rib removed will make more room so the ongoing damage should stop.
As always seek out the best surgeon that you can... ask questions..
how many of these does he do per year?
Is he highly rated on the dr checking sites? etc...
