Eugene,
Obviously, there are inherent risks in all medical procedures. Angioplasty is not benign either. The risks can in some ways be worse than a small embolus from Foxhollow's procedure, including dissection and disruption/leak. These side effects are worse than an embolus to a distal artery in the extremity (which by the way does not cause death directly). I will tell you that a woman who had angioplasty in our practice last week had a disruption of her renal artery and hemorrhaged and died. This example is just one in the risks of angioplasty. If you want to give risks in the form of disastrous consequences, then the risks of angioplasy can cause more disastrous consequences than the risks associated with FOXH's procedure. Just giving the opposing view as I have no stock in FOXH, but my partners use their device on some patients and have had excellent results.
