CCSVI treatment available in the U.S.!

Liber8, they do stenting when deemed necessary (when they see that ballooning does not hold)

I also asked them if they had any patients with negative CCSVI diagnosis. he said they had 4 (out of 15).

any idea if this is with venogram diagnosis or with mrv/doppler?

My father, a neuro, tried to get me into a study and couldn't, so he started scanning the haacke protocol down here, and found an IR to treat me. We should be referring patients for the venoplasty by mid june. hubbardfoundation.org. Hope this helps.

As per Dr.Siskin's e-mail they do venograms.

anyone else contacted by this clinic for potential dates ? Anyone given a date for test/treat for that matter?

I rec'd the initial contact for my insurance info, etc. on Monday, May 17. The receptionist told me I would be contacted this week by the doctor...

Hi Devin,

So is there a wait list started to get treatment when/if the time comes?

I wonder about the rate of 26% that are found without ccsvi.. If that number is from the dopplar or mrv , it sounds "normal" with the known false negative rates. But if they are quoting those negative rates from the "Gold Standard" I would have questions, since most others doing the procedure seem to be running at less than 10 % without blockages or valve problems ..............

Dr. Siskin uses venogram to rule out ccsvi.

Jenb, do you know approx. where you were on their list of 60?

[Cece]

The further down the list you are, the more experienced they will be by the time they get there! I agree that finding CCSVI in 74% is low compared to other doctors. Either the other docs are overtreating or the new guys are missing CCSVI in some patients....

Keep in mind 15 is not a very large sample size. Their percentage might get a lot higher with a few more patients.
