[HSF] Another Victory for the LAD Stent.....

[Donald Ross]

Erdinc,

I have only had one case where adhesions were bad and although  
tedious the time an effort was still less than for a frontal attack.
I have, as yet to come across an inoperable descending aorta but we  
now check it with a cat scan and if it were a problem I would use a  
higher incision and go for the subclavialn.
