George, did they reinsert in the same place? I have had mine for about 6 weeks, and we are having problems with it, so I think we will have to replace it.
Yes. They used a guide wire to reinsert. The procedure took about 10 minutes. I was talking to an assistant about motorcycles while it was being replaced which was a nice distraction. The following day I spent at the race track riding my bike to my limits without even a thought of the cathater. Also, I think because of the guide wire they got better placement because it has a better flow.
