Yes, it's coming up quickly, and should be a great opportunity for the Boston community of doctors, researchers, and pwMS and caretakers to learn more about CCSVI. The CCSVI Alliance is working hard to encourage dialogue and research. Hope those in the Boston area can attend!

Sounds like another great event!

Minneapolis might be a great place for a symposium someday or other, y'know.... :D

ISET is also coming up later in January, not sure where?

Hi Cheer,
Do you know if this symposium will be recorded and made available for those that cannot attend? It would be great if it was recorded.

Thanks, NHE

NHE and All,

Yes, CCSVI Alliance's inaugural educational symposium will be recorded and posted on the Alliance website www.ccsvi.org.

If you know of anyone in the Boston area who might be interested in attending, please pass along the invitation.

Best wishes to everyone during the Holiday Season.
Sharon

ISET will be in Miami starting January 16th - www.iset.org. Please go to the website to view the programs. CCSVI is receiving a great amount of interest at ISET. There will be two mornings devoted to the discussion. The opening session on Monday morning is a town hall discussion " Controversy Rages! Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency: Is It Real and Is There a Role for Endovascular Therapy?" I have been asked as president of a patient advocacy group to be a part of the panel. (including Dr. Zamboni, Dr. Dake, Dr. Burks, Dr. Sclafani, Dr. Benanti and Dr. Machan) Thursday morning: "Symposium on Practical Issues Associated with CCSVI".
CCSVI Alliance will be hosting a vendor table at ISET - this is a great opportunity for MS patients, caregivers, and the CCSVI Alliance. I plan on "tweeting", sending pictures, and recording interviews.

Sharon

We would love to go and hear the discussion. Can patients attend who are not doctors, nurses, engineers, etc?

The registration fees look pretty steep:

Those fees are steep. I think the hospitals pay for their physicians to attend these as part of their continuing education/conferences budget. It seems limited to physicians et al except for the category of "spouse" who can get in for $100, perhaps a quickie marriage is in order. :D

We were considering going, but a 2 1/2 hour drive is tough on a weeknight!

Pictures up at CCSVI Alliance Facebook page, and video will be up at www.ccsvi.org in the near future.

Quote:
We enjoyed a very successful evening at Brandeis University near Boston, with a diverse crowd (patients who have been treated, patients who have not, folks from the NMSS, interventional radiologists, etc.), a broad range of questions, and engaged participants. Many people arrived curious and/or skeptical and left intrigued and interested in learning more. We opened some minds.

Dr. Dake highlighted what we know and don't know about CCSVI and MS, particularly that CCSVI is only one of many factors that may contribute to MS - - but it is a factor, may be one of the very few, that can be treated and even corrected. He answered questions for more than an hour, including many about safety and about the differences between neurologists' and interventional radiologists' perspectives about CCSVI .

A big thank you to the 75+ people who attended, the volunteers who helped pull it all together, and of course Dr. Dake. We'll let you know when a video of the evening is up on www.ccsvi.org
