A friend sent this info to me taken from the National Enquirer (not in the for-front of journalism) so consider the source. This is a solicitation for clients and appeared in the advertising/business section of the magazine and I thought I would pass the information along in case anyone found it relevant.

"The St. Jude Symmetry by-pass connectors allowed by-pass surgery to be performed without putting patient on heart lung machine during surgery has been reported that some patients have had to undergo second surgery to re-do the graft and remove the device. Reports show some patients suffered a blockage of by-pass graft, leakage, blood clot, stroke, heart attack or death.

This affects any one having by-pass surgery since May, 2001 and had a heart attack or stroke following surgery."
