This should lead to a cascade of biological effects, the final stage of which is inflammation and demyelination, as in multiple sclerosis.
Blood tests: They can’t diagnose MS, but the doctor will use them to look for substances in your blood that point to it. Most importantly, they can help your doctor rule out conditions that look like MS.
2011] described a run-in period during which intra- and inter-observer reliability was determined to be satisfactory in three out of five neurosonology criteria and poor in the remaining two.
CCSVI is a term used to describe the narrowing of veins in the neck, which has been suggested to affect blood flow out of the central nervous system.
The team studied the prevalence of CCSVI in 200 people including those with MS and controls without MS, using catheter venography, ultrasound, and magnetic resonance venography.
But it seems the argument is that, when these studies don't come up with a cem% correlation, they must be wrong. Before, the criticism of these studies was that the doctors did not know what they were doing, or that they were deliberately finding negative results. Now, since these don't apply to the BNAC doctors, the criticism is that the whole method is flawed.
They keep doing studies to prove something with inferior methods! So many studies have been done with dopplers and MRV where they "miss" some anomalies.
We have found the Muller guided catheter system (USCI) to be useful in this procedure and are now using it exclusively. Before this system was available to us, preformed catheters were used with some success. The major disadvantage of preformed catheters is the inability to negotiate the frequently encountered valves or anastomotic vessels.
Proffesor Zamboni examined the veins of MS patients located in the neck and found that more than 80% of patients with relapsing-remitting (RR) type of MS, and over 90% of patients with secondary-progressive (SP) or primary-progressive (PP) type met the criteria for CCSVI diagnosis. A majority of the patients that were examined exhibited the signs of valve malformation, stenosis or venous reflux presence in their neck veins.
Do you use ‘drug-eluting’ balloons or stents? The use of drug-eluding stents and balloons have been in practice for many years for a variety of indications. However, in CCSVI, the cause of blockages inside the vein is completely different from heart disease and other artery diseases.
Today, January 20, 2010 I went back to the hospital where I had the last two tests that I have to do to check the function of my heart. As I mentioned before, I decided to go to a cardiologist because I have been having strong chest pains, burning sensation in the thoracic area, spasms, palpitations and irregular heart beats especially at night time before falling asleep.

A link between CCSVI and MS was first suggested in 2009, but this has since been challenged. Trials of treatments for CCSVI found that it did not reduce MS symptoms or damage on MRI but might worsen relapses and activity on MRI scans.
Oct. 3, 2012 - I have stopped posting articles here in 2011, so use the information document I listed in the previous post, and also look at the newsfeed for this site, since many CCSVI and MS groups messages are posted there. Scroll down my posts to see some interesting article links, but they may be outdated as of 2012.
