Lead researcher Dr. Duncan Geddes notes notable life changes when the operation succeeds, while Medicare and private insurers demand proof of superiority to standard care. The work follows a larger federal study under way and highlights a potential shift in treatment for a disease that afflicts about 2 million Americans and costs billions annually.

Early artery clogging found in teens and young adults
A Southwest Foundation study in Circulation reports arteries clogged in 2 percent of 15 to 19 year olds and about 20 percent of 20 to 34 year olds. Dr. Henry C. McGill Jr. notes prevention should start in adolescence as plaques in the left coronary artery hint at future heart attacks. Data cover seven years ending 1994 with autopsies of 760 youths who died in accidents or crises.
