Dr. Linker is a thoracic surgeon so that's why I don't think he can solve this problem on his own. I see a Dr. in Louisville that manages my heart failure. I just take coreg and get an echo once a year. But if I could actually get venous reconstructive surgery then I'm thinking my heart would be able to improve as well.

Nothing major just occasional cold & numbness in my hand, pain in elbow & shoulder blade and muscle weakness when doing anything overhead. But this nothing compared to the days before surgery.
Dr Thompson is a vascular surgeon and is the director of the thoracic outlet for Barnes Jewish hospital in St Louis. He is an excellent dr for TOS surgery but he does not see the patients after surgery, his staff handles that area, until you are released to go home. That was about 8 days for me.
I don't have any heart issues so I can't comment on that question.
