I am under the impression that ccsvi treatment (actual surgery) can only be performed abroad (Poland, Bulgaria, India). Can the treatment be performed anywhere in North America? Thank-you.

Add to that list an undisclosed number of doctors (especially interventional radiologists) who are doing the liberation procedure "under the radar" that is, without publicity.

I know of at least three more not known to this forum.
