Hi Doc, I'm sure this question has been asked before so I will apologize now for asking the same question again. When you did the work on me last August my issues were the valves and the leaflets. Is there a procedure that would eliminate/remove the leaflets if they continue to cause restricted flow...

Sal there is some info on the Wheldon site and, and, he is not saying that it is 'THE' cause of MS. He is however saying that some examples benefit from this approach.

I thank you very much for explaining that to me, this will help me answer this difficult when I am asked it.

Dr.S You fixed my plumbing in August this past year, we spoke about the procedure and how confident you were on your technique. I know this is a constant learning process and things change rapidly. The question I have for you Doc is one that I am asked every time I speak with someone who has CCSVI a...

Cece we have never chatted, but I could not agree with you more.
