Naperville woman is instantly cured by new Trellis device, a permanent treatment for life-threatening deep vein thrombosis

Dr. Mark Goodwin, cardiologist for Advocate Medical Group, used the innovative, new Trellis device to cure patient Barbara Allanach of Naperville, IL.  Barbara discovered that she had a condition called deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or blood clots in the deep veins, causing her to be overwhelmed by coughing and often short of breath.  After the procedure, Barbara was able to breathe normally again in less than 24 hours.
