Conclusion: Endovascular treatment of CCSVI in MS patients is a safe procedure when performed on an outpatient basis. Cardiac monitoring is essential to permit detection and rapid treatment of patients with procedure-induced arrhythmias. Post-procedure ultrasound is recommended to detect venous thrombosis. In addition, consideration should be given to performing complex re-interventions in a hospital given the complication risk in this sub-population of patients.
