...complications can be. The most serious is a pulmonary embolism?which occurs in 25-30% of DVT cases?when a piece of the clot breaks off and travels to the lung. In rare instances, part of a clot may lodge in other organs, including the brain, where it can trigger a stroke...
...hospital. Rather, scar tissue had formed around the wire-mesh stent that was implanted last November to open a blocked coronary artery. This had led to a renarrowing, or restenosis, of the vessel. (Restenosis occurs in 20% of such cases.) Although one study suggests that "burnout" can trigger restenosis, the evidence is hardly conclusive and in any case doesn't apply to Cheney, who obviously relishes his job.

Let the Senate moderates have their written-in "trigger," or "mid-course correction," however they want to name it (Bush ought to know there'll be one of those in November 2004 anyway) and back-load the debt repayment instead of the tax cuts...
