Hello Again....I have another question....Wondering if anyone here has had stents implanted into their lungs? If so, could you please share a bit about the surgery, and perhaps your own personal feelings and or experience with it....I would truly appreciate it....
Wishing everyone a wonderful day.... Love and Blessings, Serenity Posted on 05/05/09, 02:05 pm |

There were trials being conducted regarding stents called the "Ease Trial" as late as Nov 08 but I haven't checked since.
I wasn't aware that they had been approved for use or was your doctor talking about the trials? If you want to get info on it go to the link listed below and good luck. http://www.easetrial.com

Yes, I apologize for my oversight....Yes, he calls it a research program which implants these stents into six locations in the lungs etc. I also need to find out a whole lot more about this, but it does sound very plausible if it does what they claim....I will let everyone know all I find out on the 15th. Thank you.
