Re: OPINIONS DR ARATA & DR HEWITT
Welcome to the forum, ooohi. The thing that seems pertinent is that valvuloplasty is being performed by all IRs at all clinics. So all research on CCSVI is research on valvuloplasty.

I've heard that valvuloplasty is a good way of treating CCSVI and it lessens the chances of re-stenosis, but this thread introduces...
