What's not found by some is found by others
In May 2010 I was told by Polish doctors that no CCSVI was found in my case.
Having strong doubts I sent the very MRV images they did to Dr. H
3 months after, Dr. H kindly (may I repeat, this was VERY kind of him) sent me the analysis of my images.
I wrote about it before - "pancaking" of jugulars and SEVERELY pinched azygous.
So, I made an appointment with Pacific Inteventionalists to have my procedure done.
Well, that day was today.
As of three hours ago I am now a proud owner of 1 stent in my 90% pinched AND twisted about itself azygous.
Also, my left jugular was apparently 50% closed, so another possession of mine is a very sore left side of the neck from having my left jugular ballooned (so far it held, unlike Azygous that twisted right back up after the ballooning attempts).
No miracles to report (yet?), neither they were expected.
I am still groggy from sedation - was supposed to be "conscious sedation" (and I DID tell them I was a light-weight ), but apparently under this "conscious sedation" I put up a fight and would keep turning my head, arguing that it hurts
So, I had to be put fully under.

I had an MRV that hinted at some issues and the venogram found major issues, including an essentially closed left jug that looked okay on the MRV (blood was flowing in it, it was just coming in and recirculating back up but the movement in it showed a nice picture on MRV). I was amazed at how much the MRV missed but it did tell me that I should pursue further.
If you'd have had a Haacke protocol MRV, the flow charts that are included (based off of many slices of flow as measured in one cardiac cycle or heartbeat) would have shown which direction the blood was going.
Just like there are normal dopplers or Zamboni ferrera 5-criteria dopplers, there are ordinary MRVs or Haacke MRVs.

Basically (again, my understanding based on the files) is akin to taking your "hose" and squishing it downwards, so it is not a straight tube, but a tube with "flattened out" portions.CuriousRobot wrote:Could you please elaborate some more on "pancaking?"
This was not a major problem though.
Sawdoggie, in Poland they DID go in and they DID perform not only MRV but a full venography.
So, this is not about what MRV might have missed (although even I could see it on MRV when pointed by Dr. H with arrows),it's about them missing it (or choosing to miss it) while actually being inside my veins.
