I dont know enough but it doesnt sound like we are comapring apples to apples here.

I believe Dr Zamboni performs the procedure with angioplasty (balloon insertion to clear veins). The person who died had a stent put in, blood clots and complications ensued.

It was not even recommended to this person that he try the procedure. He apparently had a very aggressive form of MS and was not in good health to begin with.

Sadly, people in those conditions are desperate and are willing to try anything and hope for a miracle.
