Another benefit is the blood flow is restored to ALL the vessels.. My father in law had it done and after the surgery could not leave his wife alone!!! She said it was like he got his "toy" back working again..

If your blood vessels are clogged ask the doctor if the stents will clog up also and how long before that happens... Roto Router? Did they check your carotid arteries also? Ultrasound test quick and easy
