Michelle Williams-Andrews who works for Dr Natale told me that the rate of stenosis is 2% (any measureable amount is counted) after the ablations done at CC the past year or two. Only 1% of that 2% requires intervention, i.e., a stent, to correct. Only in one case, were they unable to put in a stent into a blocked PV. FYI -you can have up to around 60% blockage without any symptoms, so having a spiral CT scan is needed to assess if there is stenosis.
