CCSVI - Test and doctor instructions question
Posted: Wed Apr 29, 2009 3:05 am
Hi all.
I have scheduled an appointment with a vascular surgeon who studied in Italy. The appointment is on May 18th. I will present him with the Zamboni studies and I was thinking about not mentioning that I want to monitor myself because I have MS, but because I feel that I may have an additional venous insufficiency.
I have found out that MRV is non-invasive, apart from the "dye". Can this be enough? Can it depict all veins of our interest?
My insurance will cover these tests, thus cost is not an issue. Supposing that MRV reveals some stenoses, do I really need to have to test for reflux using Doppler?
Thank you all!
