Winnie, I was told 1% possibility of stroke, bleeding, death, infection. I'm going to stay near hospital between holes in head with electrodes and implants in chest as that is when I hear of cases of infection. if you recall the Deborah Setzer experience, she had infection. I got kicked off DBS list for asking too many questionns - also list owenr said there was no risk,, tried to get everyone to have it and said Christians did better than other people, an innocuous but unsubstantiated statement. think Medtronics would have site with info, as it is their equipment that is used. Dr. Waltz showed it to me.
