I guess my question is why are they stenting grafting, etc?  How many have been done and why?  What was the diagnosis as Ed is asking?

They have used all the veins from your legs, all the arteries from your arms, and the LIMA/RIMA arteries from your chest too?  How many grafts have you actually had>?
