Article Outline

 

Dr Roy Greenberg (Cleveland, Ohio). I thought that was an excellent talk, and you have an unbelievable experience that dwarfs all of the experiences in this country and probably the rest of the world. I hope that you get a good publication so that we can all learn from this. I have a question. You had said in the beginning of your talk how there are 36 different types of the grafts. How do you decide who gets what type? I mean, that seems very difficult, and where you put things and how you plan the delivery system and the device.

Dr Satoshi Kawaguchi. It is a very difficult question and also difficult for me to decide which types I can use. So we have this specialist in the hospital to choose the device, so it depends on him. So I think we have long time to train to work in that part. So it is very difficult I think.
