retrograde jugular venous flow as a sign of innominate vein

This looks so close to CCSVI. The research seems to be done in 2002:

There are many papers out there about ccsvi, but they are not related to MS until Zamboni made the connection.

I have several starting from the 1990's. One is about a woman ith IJV stenosis from dialysis, who developed neurological problems. Once the occlusion was ballooned and stented, her problems disappeared.

here's a recent case study of a patient with CCSVI and an innominate vein hypoplasia

Yes, and this study also shows how refluxed blood does make it eventually back to the heart, through collateral or contra-lateral pathways, but first (in this case) it has to get across to the other side veins through the dural sinus. I imagine this was discovered while trying to treat symptoms, and a non-drug-based approach obviously worked. Of course this was before CCSVI, and before Dr. F met Dr. Z, resulting in the well-known ice-cleaning machine slide being shown at an MS Society presentation...

I think those lab mice need some doctors more than humans do.
