Thank you, JohnJoseph. So they are basically saying that in progressive patients, the azygous had more prominent problems ("endovascular changes") such as webs and valves and narrowings and that there were a greater number of distinct areas that needed ballooning. If one roadblock in the ...

Cece, I am wondering what dilatations means in this context: Conclusion. The intraluminal narrowing of the extracranial veins was demonstrated in all MS cases. It seems that CCSVI in MS patients contributes to their clinical picture and plays an important role by developing a devastating impairment ...

I see that good imaging is clearly the Key preposition for any successful angioplasty treatment. I re-post a question regarding an alternative phlebography imaging technique (possibly a kind of shortcut/speed-up?): Dear Dr S, ... What is your take on this imaging technique of the azygous I've heard ...

Dear Dr S, Really, really nice images of the azygous (as far as I can say). 1st question - what is your take on an alternative imaging technique of the azygous I've heard of recently - the so called "occlusion phlebography" with following setup: Catheter is fed into the upper part of the a...

Cece,
missing the confluence with subclavian - do you have images of that crutial area with valves?

Good summary, 1eye.
I wish you and your doc good luck !

Dear Dr S, Many thanks for The Symposium a week ago! Another technical question, I don't think it has been much discussed so far: - What pressure is being applied to the balloons - are there different cathegories of baloons based on pressure? - I understood the applied balloons are hydraulic inflate...

Please tell me if this is a boring topic, maybe but somehow I don't feel bored. Perhaps in an effort to be objective, the "why" got left out. It may be obvious to some but not me. Do jugulars collapse because they are floppy and lay flat? In that very-low-pressure environment, that would ...

Dr Sclafani - my first post and question here, after reading through (nearly) the whole thread - it's simply UNIQUE. The azygos has recently been a topic again. As you've pointed out, the proper viewing angle is the key for informative images necessary to find abnormalities. Here my question: But wh...
