Good question...you'll need to speak with Dr. Dake about this. Since you're traveling, maybe he can set something up with local facilities for a check up. I do know it's important to check the stents, make sure they are "patent" and the veins are healing after 2 months. Maybe there will be some research grant money coming in to defray travel costs for participants. Talk to Dr. Dake, he'll give you the answer-

One of my questions that I didn't have time to ask in this mornings talk with Dr. Dake was should I get a fresh MRI since the last one is now been over two years ago. Lots more questions than the brief 15 min talk would allow. Yes !!! Going to Stanford starting June 29th. I am finally going in a direction that feels right. No more hanging in limbo... Pro active at last. Yahoo !!!! Peace and good night. Mark

Woot! Woot! Really excited for you, Mark! Dr. Dake will do his own set of MRIs once you're there, for his records. He likes to do them the same time as the MRVs (same tube), so he gets the complete picture. You should double check with him, to make sure...but I'm pretty sure that will be the protocol for everyone.
Peace out,

Internal Jugular Vein Valve

Postby Crabby » Thu Jun 11, 2009 11:02 pm

One aspect of the vein clean out that I'm confused about is what happens to the valves in the veins? Isn't there a valve at the bottom of the internal jugular veins (near the connection with the subclavian vein)? How does the catheter used for the angioplasty/stent procedure go through the valve without damaging it?
