Both of my grandfathers have had this done with no complications. Guess what I have to look forward to. They both had a significant increase in energy afterward. I'll pray for him.

My mom had to have stints put in her kidneys and it caused her no distress at all. Improved the quality of her life tremendously. It's a minor procedure and your father should come thru it with no problems. I know that any type of procedure that is invasive can have it's problems but we of the TCB are hoping for the best for you and your father. --- mark Brian Denning <i_am_cool_fred@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: for those of you that know him my dad had to do a stress test for work. they discovered some potential blockages and might be having to get stints (sp?) put in to help the blood flow better. he is going next week for the camera view where they go up the blood vessle with a itty bitty camera and check to see how bad the potential blockages are. from there they will decide if he needs one stint or two. he does consider him self a honorary member of the tcb and dac so i wanted to tell those of you that know him what is going on. brian _________________________________________________________________ Win a Zune??make MSN® your homepage for your chance to win! http://homepage.msn.com/zune?icid=hmetagline --------------------------------- It's here!
