American BioMed has technologies that can save lifes: Six or seven years ago a vibrant young woman of nearly 70 had to see a new physician due to changes in her medical insurance. Her new physician, something of a geriatric specialist, diagnosed something that her own cardiologist had missed: Aortic Stenosis In layman's terms this is a narrowing of the largest artery on the body due to atherosclerosis(plaque or calcification built up inside the arteries). Her son in law took it on himself to do a little reading on the subject and found that the the condition was definitely life threatening but her cardiologist felt she would be fine. This active, witty and wonderful lady was only too happy to believe her cardiologist despite the fact that she herself had been nurse for many years. She continued her life the best she could despite shortness of breath and chest pain after minor exertion. Finally 2 years later it was decided that she should indeed have heart surgery before it was too late. Her heart surgeon explained to her son in law that due to the great deal of calcification around the aortic valve she was at high risk of a post operative stroke. The surgery was scheduled and performed replacing her aortic valve and putting the patient on coumadin post operatively to keep the blood thin and reduce the risk of a stroke. At first everything seemed to be going well after the surgery and the woman went home with her daughter and son in law to recover. She was told to walk as much as possible to speed her recovery but complained of pain and an tingling, itchy sensation in her legs(claudation). Two months later she was slowly slipping downhill and constantly complained about pain in her feet. Trip after trip to her physicians resulted in little or no help for what her physicians seemed to feel was pychosomatic. She continued to feel worse and worse, acting less and less like herself. She developed blisters on her toes despite being almost totally inactive. Less than a year later she passed away. Her final year on this earth was simply hell. Due to gangrene she had half of one foot removed and several toes on the other. A short trip to a retirement community became a trip to the hospital followed by trips to nursing homes and more hospital stays. Finally she seemed to be improving enough to leave the nursing home and return to a retirement community. Hours after she was taken off her coumadin(a blood thinner) she died of a massive stroke. The woman was my mother in law Adeline Moore. We had a special relationship that is the antithesis of every mother in law joke you ever heard. I feel that I let her down by not pushing her physician's to do more for her sooner. I loved her dearly and I miss her so much. American BioMed has a patented process that could eventually help to save surgical patients like my mother in law. The OmniFilter, or a product like it, could filter out the plaque that breaks away from an artery during these kinds of surgeries and potentially prevent strokes and blood clots. americanbiomed.com Go ABMI!
