David Inman gets a procedure to help him breathe

At 79 years old, David Inman wasn't able to get the oxygen he needed because of massive clots in the arteries of his lungs. As time went on, David was diagnosed with Chronic Thromboembolic Pulmonary Hypertension (CTEPH), which limited what he was able to do. Even short walks around the house were exhausting. After a complex surgery to remove the clots, he was able to return to the active lifestyle he enjoyed.
