  Lovely poster*. But minor quibble: angioplasty isn’t very “21st century” at all: it was invented in 1964 and develped through the 1970s. It’s nearly contemporary with the style of art the poster adopts!
  
  *: But it does have me thinking that someone has way too much spare time on their hands…

  I am often amazed at how many stenting procedures some people have. I dont find it unusual to have patients who have had 3 or more separate stenting procedures. Add in the costs of permanent Plavix (DES) and future bleeding complications, and you are talking a lot of money.
