Hi
I also recieved my dates for April, - 7/8 - I'm so excited and wish time would just hurry up and pass quickly between now and then.
I also wish to extend my thanks to those on this forum who inspired me to to contact Dr Simka - particularly to Ericka - who has been an inspiration to so many of us.
Of course, I will keep everyone on here informed after my visit.

I emailed Dr Simka in late November.

Good evening TiMS,
Major News breaking NOW! CCSVI, in which the veins in the neck and chest do not allow blood to flow properly has just been ratified by 47 experts in different countries worldwide, as being CONGENITAL This means that the medical arena are unamiously that CCSVI is a legitimate condition from birth, and as such, enters the medical field as "Something wrong that needs fixing" I cannot describe how important this is...

Good Morning TiMS,
Abbott Laboratories here in ireland are about to release a stent to the market which has been specifically designed for use in veins. It should be released to market soon.


Thanks. Do you know if they are performing any clinical trial of the stents? It could be very interesting for europeans.

It's OK, Edser, I think this must be it from another thread:
<shortened url>

Although you can't actually get the publications themselves through that page... one requires registration/payment while the other is in process.

Hello,

A little bit ago I called the US branch of Abbott Laboratories and asked them about a new stent specifically designed for veins being released but the lady I spoke with had no idea what I am talking about. Do you think the stents that are used now to correct CCSVI safe enough given that they are not designed for veins? Just wondering...
Thanks!

Snoop, some patient experiences are found in the sticky thread at http://www.thisisms.com/ftopict-8346.html. Other, more detailed ones can be found in other individual threads here on TiMS, some of which can be identified by their titles (like "Mutley Goes to Poland" etc). There are also some in individual blogs as well as the CCSVI facebook site.
