Show Notes

Welcome back to the NCS Podcast! In this episode, we’re learning from one of our own—Kat—as she shares key insights from her personal journey, including:

  • Her second IVUS experience: what it was like being awake vs. fully sedated, the pros and cons of each approach, and the benefits of seeking a second opinion from Dr. Peter Stratil

  • Why renal angioplasty can be a viable treatment option for NCS that many don't know about

  • How endometriosis, not May-Thurner Syndrome, was the main source of her pelvic pain

The road to an NCS diagnosis can be long and filled with exhausting testing to determine whether major surgery is truly the right step. Kat’s story offers not only clarity, but also empowerment. Whether you’re newly diagnosed or still searching for answers, we hope this episode helps you feel less alone and more informed.
