Re: Mayo Clinic Vein Reconstruction Surgery for CCSVI !!

yes absolutely; Tucker's stuff is awesome and adds to the theoretical basis for the CCSVI hypothesis--with time things will be made clear, but it will take dedicated researchers and time to really solve it. congestion vs reflux may be a moot point, if the real problem is an intraluminal defect like ...
