There are, to me at least, some quixotic issues in this case and to follow intraop. Excuding the theory that I am an inferior surgeon, which fortunately is not provable based on one case, does anyone wish to guess the findings, suggest possible causes, and make specific recommendations?> > tea> _______________________________________________> OpenHeart-L mailing list> > Send postings to:> OpenHeart-L at lists.hsforum.com> > To UNSUBSCRIBE, to CHANGE email address, or to view archives:> http://mmp.cjp.com/mailman/listinfo/openheart-l> > All messages transmitted by the OpenHeart-L are subject to the policies and > disclaimers posted at:> http://www.hsforum.com/listdisclaim> -----------------------------------------
