Today, its exactly one year from my wife's operation - and all the improvements she got, are still there. She had her neurology check on may, and her status was "normal", and EDSS was 0. since operation she has been exercising quite a lot, cause she got back the joy of training. Last six m...

That's a good idea, thanks. Now lets take google translator in use too. I start digging..

However, it would be best to read through Dr. Sclafani's thread to get a good overview of some of the latest developments in treatment. For example, avoid stents if possible, use IVUS to correctly size the angioplasty balloons and find the true stenoses from the dynamic narrowings that can occur wi...

My wife was operated 10 months ago in Poland.. and I believe her vein is not re-stenosed, cause benefits have lasted. We contact the ameds clinic if her condition changes worse.

the vast majority of these stenoses are not of the vein. The vein wall is usually of a normal diameter. The problem is in the valves which are either fused or stuck together and acting like a funnel inside the vein. This is very obvious from my work with intravascular ultrasound. So i think we may ...
