    The doctor gave me these before and after images on what they call a "Chronic Total Occlusion Stent". He shows the 100% blockage in this first image above between the arrows. There's no blood flowing through there at all.


    This next image shows the same area and the artery is wide open and blood flowing like it's supposed to.

    I read the reviews and history on this guy before I went and he's a brilliant doctor. I don't see how on earth he can clean that crap up in the artery without cutting you open and replacing the bad section of artery. Looks like the pieces of debris that he was roto-rooting would be flying around in there like garbage in a sewer pipe and then clogging up and lodging in the brain?

    It's no wonder it's so expensive. The equipment they were using looked like it came from a sci-fyi movie.

    He said not many hospitals have the means to do this procedure on the arteries that he was working on is the reason they sent me from the hospital in Fayetteville, GA to the Piedmont hospital in Atlanta. He said other hospitals that do this type of procedure have around a 60% success rate. He said he has over a 90% success rate. He's a brilliant guy that's also down to earth and I could tell he was really proud of his work as he should be.
