Surgery?
If this surgery is so simple, why are only two doctors doing it?
I don't think the operation as well as the necessary testing is so easy. The Italian group uses a combination of imaging and doppler ultrasound to look for reflux, while Stanford focuses on the appearance of the veins in MRV. The Italian group is successful opening blockages using balloon angioplasty (at least for time spans of order a year), while Stanford appears to be less successful with this method.

I assume you also asked this question over at Facebook-
Here's the answer I gave you there:
This is all very new. I took Dr. Zamboni's research to Stanford just last spring. Maybe you can get a new vascular doctor to look at the research at your local university? It's worth a try...the more doctors reading the research, the more who might be willing to try and treat CCSVI.Unbelievably, doctors have not looked at stenosis in the jugular veins before, and many are daunted by treating a blockage close to the brain. Dr. Zamboni was the first vascular doctor to notice the correlation of blocked veins and MS. As vascular docs around the world share their knowledge, there will be more able to treat jugular and azygos stenosis.
