CCSVI research from the Vascular Diseases Center, University of Ferrara, Italy

Conclusion:
CDMS is strongly associated with CCSVI, a scenario that has not previously been described, characterised by abnormal venous haemodynamics determined by extracranial multiple venous strictures of unknown origin. The location of venous obstructions plays a key role in determining the clinical course of the disease.

Have the materials from his first presentation in Charring Cross been released for sale yet?

Good find Cure -

Sept can't get here any faster...presentations offer much hope especially stating results...

The presentation is going to be free on the website when they put it up. It is expensive.

I am not sure if we should include sympsium links on the research post because it is getting long, I am glad you have it here,

I wonder what dr's were presented to at Charing X? I should contact a few of them as they might be more willing to help than some of the other English Dr's!

I do not have any experience in putting together a non-profit account to benefit people who need some help getting to Stanford, but the idea has been buzzing in my head awhile. I understand that many if not all of us who have had this disease awhile (30 years) are burned out financially, but Don and I would be willing to contribute something to such a fund if someone out there could put it together. I do not know if one has to file for a nonprofit status with the government, but whatever you know, would you share with me and tell me what you thinhk of the idea? Daisyduck

All the research is constantly updated on the second post of page one. Go to page one and read the second post

If I wanted to pursue getting radiology and then stents.Who would one call first? Interventional radiology at Stanford? Dr, Dake? Where in Buffalo NY? How would you suggest getting started?

I would have to fly out for any appointments. I have a place to stay and could stay an extended amount of time..... within reason.

Hi Rettahb, this thread is for research, you want to discuss this with others on the other threads. At the bottom click chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency then look for a thread that has a title that might answer that question............

Hello all,

I am new to the forum, and I don't know exactly where to put my question. It might even been asked before, but was difficult for me to find anything in this particuar topic.

I am from the Netherlands and following the news on CCSVI with great interest and enthousiasm. I sent a few articles to my neurologist to get his opinion on the matter. I am speaking to him next thursday October 1st.

I am not quite sure how he will react. If is is reluctant to follow the theory of Zamboni and reluctant to have any surgery done, I want to ask him what he thinks about medication to solve the specific vascular problems.

I don't know whether Dr. Zamboni or Dr. Drake or anyone else has stated an opinion on this before.

Is there anyone who can clarify?

Thanks and I will let you know the response I get from my neurologist.
