From:

The stent thing -- note that it applies to the use of stents in left coronary artery disease, not to their use in treatment of acute myocardial infarction, which is the major headline use (and an immediate life-saver). Beware BBC pop-press reporting of scientific papers, it's frequently done by a hurried or underinformed journalist who doesn't know the field in sufficient depth to critically analyse a paper they're reporting on.

Ah, thank you, that's very useful context!

(And sorry you couldn't make it last week, I'd been looking forward to seeing you)

Make it to what last week?

Dave being in town? I could have sworn you were invited to the Dagda but couldn't make it.

Oh, right: I had to fly out to Dortmund at zero dark o'clock the next morning. Pre-flight beeriness not recommended! (Am back in Edinburgh now.)

Very cool, if true
