On the Move Again After Chronic Total Occlusion
Mitchell Doub, 64, could barely walk across his living room without experiencing debilitating chest pain thanks to an advanced form of coronary artery disease called chronic total occlusion. After Doub was told nothing could be done, Duke Health’s Islam M. Othman, MD, offered a solution.
