<<<<<<Wouldn't the FDA have considered that before approval the PIII protocol?

not necessiarily.

<<<<<<Also, wouldn't Willforth, a past director of the FDA for the Centre for Devices, current director for VAS, have considered this?

vsgn has done a good job stacking their bod. unfortunately, that does not translate to efficacy or drug approval.

<<<<<<< And what about the top cardiologists on VAS's Advisory board... would they attach their names to something that's trying to sneak in the back door?

you can find md's that will say anything if they're paid, look at c evert koop. i think if you actually read vsgn's published PII results you'd see their results are not alarmingly dramatic.

<<<<<<And if it works, do you really think the FDA would prevent it's release and push to have VAS start all over again, classified as a drug, when the machine would still be required?

that is a distinct possibility. device classification is a loophole to get a drug approved.
