During the treatment a flebography was performed with a new technique: this means that the contrast medium is given through the arteries, which gives a better picture of the circulation compared to the usual method, where the contrast medium is given through the catheter used for the check of the veins. This test showed a pathology on my left vein-valves, which would have been impossible to detect if the catheter would have been led thought the valve of the vein. Then an arduous ballooning of my left jugularis vein was performed, after which the left valves were checked for performance. The procedure was performed very carefully in order to avoid the effects and mainly also not to provoke a new reflux. The whole procedure lasted about one and a half hour and dr. hab. M. Kielar thought it well done. This because the blood circulation on the right vein was good even though the pressure point from the vertebra. The right vein was not touched mainly because it would have been necessary to insert a stent, a fact that both dr. Kielar and I wanted to avoid. And also because it may be possible to correct the position of the neck vertebrae with proper exercises? I must read more about this topic.

This part sounds like Dr. Flannagan's theory; veins pinched by neck vertebrae.

I was a little disturbed to know, that I had a difficult pathology of my circulation system: but it is better to know where one stands. The checks showed also a pressure point of the C1 vertebra (on the neck spine) to the right inner vein and a pressure point by the muscle on both sides of the neck vein on both sides. I had no idea of such pathologies, even from previous checks and tests. The left vein had a long reduction of the diameter for more than 50% and the blood circulation there was very hindered.
