Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
The MSBNC article added, “Several reports in recent years have suggested that stents and artery-opening angioplasty procedures were being overused in non-emergency cases, often without giving medicine alone a chance to work."
And, "Concern about stent complications also has made doctors more cautious about elective angioplasty.”
Dr. Robert Harrington (Duke Clinical Research Institute) was quoted within the article to have said, “It's really raised a lot of question about when is it appropriate,” adding that the blood-flow test is “another parameter for us to consider.”
Over one million angioplasties are performed in the United States each year.
However, the blood-flow test is only performed in about 10% of these angioplasties.
The researchers state that a follow-up study is necessary to validate their results that the use of the blood-flow test is helpful for identifying when angioiplasty and steins are needed and when they are not needed.
