Good day friends. For a while I have problems with aortic coarcation and I never get this so serious since I was always in contact with my doctor and I believed that everything is under control. And it was, until yesterday. My doctor told me that I need to run some tests and after it he told me that I need to do subclavian flap procedure. I don't know what this is, I don't even want to read it alone because whenever I am trying to find something on the internet about some issue, I always find some fact about death. I don't want that. Can you tell me how safe is Subclavian flap procedure?
Hey there.
This is actually a new technique. Well, pretty much new technique. And I can tell you that you don’t have to be afraid because it is totally safe. At least according to the doctors. But I don’t know what to tell you since this is a new procedure (pretty much new) and I don’t know how something that is new and that is still in some experimental procedure can be safe. I advise you to talk to your doctor about this as much as you can, don’t be afraid to ask a lot of questions because you need to know. I don’t know, but I am a little bit skeptical about this whole thing. Good luck there.
Hello everyone. Well, I am not so sure what to answer on this question. I will be honest with you - my work colleague did this procedure a couple of weeks ago, two months to be exact with time. Doctors also told him that this procedure is in some experimental phase, but that it still safe and reliable. So, after he was thinking about it he accepted to have this procedure, Thanks God, everything was fine with him and now he is sill recovering. I believe that recovering process is going a little bit slower, but it is safe. At least it was in his case.
