6:18 pm
when there are alternatives. >> and again, this is in the elective setting. not when someone is having a heart attack or threatened heart attack. we're clearly stenting holds tremendous advantage. in response to the decline in stent procedures, st. joseph's medical center issued a statement saying, it is important to consider patterns of referring physicians and patient choice. >> reporter: at best, it may serve to deter the unhealthy combination of doctors looking strictly at the bottom line. and patients looking too hard for an easy fix. reporting from towson, i'm pat warren, back to you on television hill. now, new treatments may also be contributing to a decline in stent procedures in maryland and nationwide. first, a manatee and now a seal. according to our media partner, people report seeing a seal in the patapsco river in anne arundel county. such a sighting is not unheard of, but it's far this far up
