The only thing that worries me about Dr. Dakes theory of placing stents, is that stents are made for arteries, not viens, which are thinner and more fragile. The possibility of a stent traveling to the brain scares me.
Dr. Zamboni's angioplasty may be a safer route. Maybe this is why the University is not standing behind Dr. Dakes procedure, at this time.
Anyway, you are very brave to consider becoming part of this trial and I applaud you..
