The one thing I could say is I think that at least showed, which we all know, making something that was occlusive, less occlusive, patients did get better. The post-thrombotic syndrome rates, despite it weren't different, were lower, especially in someone who got a catheter-directed therapy. Just, in my opinion, the wrong therapy, but we're heading in the right direction for sure. Even those patients who got anticoagulation, their post-thrombotic syndrome rates were really high. That's so devastating. When people do superficial vein work and they see these legs, if I had these deep veins that are occluded, now they have venous insufficiency, and I can't ablate anything because they're living on a saphenous, I'm like, "I would have done anything to have seen you three years ago and been able to use, the right catheter to open up your deep veins, and then we wouldn't be here."
