Hi,
Im due to have my CCSVI testing and treatment in May in Poland.

i was curious how long did the testing (doppler &MRI ) last?

Also how long did the procedure last?

thank you

Adamt, I contacted a large close by hospital, and asked to speak to the head of interventional radiology. I was able to get him interested in the whole CCSVI issue. He asked us (my wife has ms) to come in. After interviewing my wife for a few minutes, we went down into a room with a doppler. After about 15 minutes of checking her neck, he confirmed that there was something unusual in the jugulars. He now wants to do a venogram. Total time - less than 1/2 hour.

My dopler in Poland took about 10mins, and my MRV about 50 mins.

thanks for the replies, so in total i should expect about 1hr testing.

How about the procedure?

Not always.... the tests may be on different days.

The procedure for me was about 30-40 mins, but it probably won't be any more than 1 hour. It'll all be over in a flash
