[@annesperling978]

This is 12 years old & this doctor has a huge conflict of interest being on the boards of all the companies in USA who manufacture stents!

[@wenyicvs]

No, DES IS NOT SAFE.

So we should take your word for that? You give no reasons why you think they're not safe, you present no credentials. You post five words, four of them in all caps like it's your first day on the Web. Come on, Mr. Wenyi, don't be so lazy.
