I have a friend who did DBS 3 times... the first time it worked okay. Then after 5 years they had to go in, I think batteries or infection? So they took it out.
The third try, he had an issue with his blood pressure, he almost died, spent 2 years in rehab curled into a ball, then regained ability somewhat, so they decided not to do it.
Now he’s been home a year.
The span on this I think was about 7 years.
My husband had DBS done 11and 1/2 years ago. Great results.
