Over 900,000 heart stent surgeries are performed in the U.S. every year. While it can save lives, Dr. Jon LaPook reports that this procedure is very expensive and sometimes unnecessary.
What's even more ridiculous? When the Docs that promote bypass have to go behind themselves a few years later and place stents in their own bypass grafts (ala Bill Clinton)! LOL! So they cracked your chest open and gave you a permanent limp to do what? They end up stenting you anyway? ROFLMAO!
The idea that bypass is better than stenting has been out there for yrs now! As a stent recipient I say, "BS!". Reason? Heart disease is seldom as simple as bypassing a blockage with a simple grafting technique! Maybe a few patients w/o diffuse disease may benefit but in severe disease, blockage almost always progresses beyond the graft!
