Comments on restenosis. I spoke with Dr. Hewett and we agree restenosis does not mean occlusion. This may occur within months to years so this is an ongoing journey. I had three veins treated with valvulopasty and my sincere hope is by using 3000 mg of EPA plus DHA, 8 to 10,000 units of vitamin D and an anti-inflammatory diet I will slow the rate of restenosis. In addition, I take curcumin 2000 mg +2000 mg of emu oil, as anti-inflammatory adjuncts. Restenosis occurs to some degree in almost all central vein treated individuals. However, three veins working for a time should reduce disease progression and if one has to go back in the future for retreatment one's own individual symptoms are the best indicator.
