Some MS patients with vascular disease get treated regularly. I post this paper just in case anybody needs to use it as an argument supporting the vascular treatment of MS patients.
Off-pump coronary surgery in a patient with multiple sclerosis.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24364009
Abstract
Surgery in patients with multiple sclerosis, the most common autoimmune demyelinating disorder of the central nervous system, represents a challenge for surgeons and anesthesiologists because of the reported risk of relapse of the neurologic symptoms in the perioperative period. In this report, we describe the management of a patient with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis and critical coronary artery disease, who underwent an uneventful off-pump coronary artery revascularization. The issues pertaining to the performance of coronary surgery revascularization on patients with multiple sclerosis are discussed.
