To Whom It May Concern:

I think, while SIRS and other organizations are great, size is not everything, where good practices are concerned. The phrases, "intervention by committee" and "handcuffed by liability" come to mind. Like some running shoe or other says, Just Do It. After doing all the talking you need to do with other doctors, and having a lot of direct experience, at the catheter, please help those patients lucky enough to be helped, by publishing a 'best practices' document. To hell with stats, give us your accumulated wisdom and your expert opinion!

How big of a vein is it? Is there precedence in the literature for ballooning the renal vein as there is for the iliac and May Thurner?

I agree with what you've said in regards to wild wild west, no standardization, caveat emptor.
Dr. McGuckin justifies treating the left renal vein because it drains the hemiazygos. There is no studies about treating it that I am aware of.

Just because one doctor is doing it doesn't mean that he is more right than a doctor who does not.

Unless one of the doctor is Dr. Zamboni; In the preliminary study he reported problem in the Renal vein in about 5% of the patients.
This means that any IR that doasn't check the renal vein might miss 5% of patients with a problem that could be helped.

That is a pretty good trump card. I am convinced.

Thanks, frodo. I think it is good to hear both the pros and the cons about certain techniques and CCSVI operation in itself. Where did Rici's operation take place?
I do not have more information than what he posted in his thread, but I copy it here:

Dr. Maciej Jaworski
