Patient Stories

Diana Beason: Indiana, USA

Diana Beason

What was supposed to be a routine doctor’s appointment turned out to be a life-saving visit for Diana.

The Indiana preschool teacher had experienced shortness of breath and what she thought was indigestion for a few months.

When her husband mentioned these ailments at an unrelated appointment, the doctor ordered a stress test, which uncovered a 90 percent blockage in one of Diana’s blood vessels.

She received the Endeavor® drug-eluting stent.

After the minimally invasive procedure, Diana’s symptoms were gone.

She resumed her regular activities, including touring with her local motorcycle club.

“I got the stent on a Tuesday, was back at school that Friday and took a ride with friends soon after that,” Diana said.
