Congential Fibrous bands entangled in my first rib, second rib, around nerves, as well as first ribs that were much smaller than should have been in proportion to my frame.(a congenital anomaly) For some reason it did not show up properly on the various scans, but was visible when they opend me up. MRI, CT, and xrays. They only showed an abnormaly tight space between the ribs.
For these reasons I believe the surgery will be a success story, but the damage that was done as a result of the compression on the BP and my SNS, may never be fixed.
Cheers,
Jay
