The
stent is a wire-like spring mesh that expands slightly
when it is put into a vessel. It is sort of like the Chinese bamboo
finger gadget that you put your fingers in and cannot get them out
unless you squeeze the middle. The purpose is to push the obstruction,
fat or plaque, up against the wall of the artery, thus allowing the
blood to flow through the middle of the spring mesh. Sounds good!
But, there are things they do not tell you, like the middle of the
Stent plaques up just as fast, or sometimes faster, than the angioplasty.
In
a recent Pathology seminar, with pathologists from around the world,
the problem of proliferation` was discussed. The body produces proliferative
cells any time there is damage or trauma or foreign matter placed in
the body and in the circulation. So, when surgery, angioplasty, sutures
or stents; etc. are placed in the body, thousands of proliferative cells
are released to cover over or plaque over the affected area.
The problem is that the cells do not know when to stop, and chemically,
medically, science does not know how to stop them. This is why many
treated arteries and bypassed areas block up 5-10 times faster than
untreated areas and why you may need to undergo a repeat bypass, angioplasty
surgery and stinting over and over again. And, each new procedure
produces a new set of proliferative cells which go on and on laying
down plaque. This process does not occur with chelation therapy.
