Atlanta update

Post by Believe »

Hi Everybody.
I am a newbie but a very,very long time lurker.
A great big thank you to the many posters on this site.
To say the least I have learned so much from you & are Grateful.
Went to CCSVI-Atlanta for a doppler & found everything was just fine.
The staff was a 10. The report followed after a short delay but it mirrors
Dr Zamboni's work. They all seem so excited to be in on the beginning of something so big. They are genuine.
Believe, it really is starting to happen. Now to find a vasc/IR in GA.

Believe, you said everything was find. Does that mean that they didn't find any problems with stenosis via the doppler ultrasound test ? And if they didn't then why are you looking for an IR ? I know that the tests can be negative and there can still be problems but I am just wondering.

Sorry for any confusion.
I should have said facility was fine.
Tests results show reflux in Deep Cerebral Veins & possible malformed valve in right IJV with stenosis both supine & upright.
2/5 according to Dr Z.

Thanks, Believe !! I have met the person who is heading up the CCSVI Atlanta operation and he seems like a very nice person. I am glad you had a good experience with the imaging. Good luck finding an IR.
