Stent Restenosis
by Shawn Henriksen, Nov 17, 1999 12:00AM
My mother has undergone 8 angioplasties since March 1999. Due to scar tissue the artery keeps blocking. We have been desperately trying to get her enrolled in a program where they can perform radiation treatment on the artery. She can not undergo another bypass operation! Her time is severly limited.
Does anyone know of a program she can immediately be enrolled in anywhere??
Kindly
Shawn

We hope to have the radiation treatment available again by mid-December.
