Can I Have Information About Removal Of Plaque Or Blockage In Arteries With A Suction Tube?
Great. I just clicked on here and was reading about your conferences. I am in California, but I have a friend in Pensacola, Fl. that has attended some of your conferences, and she told me about a film presentation that she saw at a conference a few months ago regarding the removal of plaque or blockage in arteries with a suction tube. Can you guide me to where I can find out more about that procedure or inform me of this procedure. I have only one vessel feeding the heart, so I am interested in unclogging an artery. I have already been designing in my mind how to accomplish this, so I am happy to know that the procedure is being perfected. Thank you in advance for your help. My name is Harold Kelly and my phone is 559-269-7752.
