long-term complications
long-term complications
Hi, I would like to know if there could be long-term effects/complications after treatment. Our body has lived with malformations since its birth, so, if we open our veins, there could be a sort of adaptation to the new status. Any information of what could happen in two, five or ten years to our circulatory system? Thanks!

Not as bad as the long-term consequences of doing nothing, I'm sure of that. And they don't have to be long-term, either.

If you consider Dr. Hubbard's fMRI BOLD oxygenation studies, what's being done is the brain is being given what every normal person's brain already gets. And the normal people seem to be doing fine with all that oxygen, not to mention the glucose and the ability to carry waste products away through the blood stream and the stronger blood-brain-barrier that's not being weakened by reflux.

heres, anything new carries the risk of complications down the road. The trick is to minimize the risk by identifying and compensating for the most predictable ones.
In the case of plasty or stents, the most predictible long term problems could well be the consequenses of using procedures designed primarily to treat ateries on veins. The two have very different structures and very different resitance to internal force.
We will need to carefully follow people who have had their veins played with for a very long time to fully answer your question.

Ironically, one of the potential complications of catheter insertion in the IJV's is IJV thrombosis:

I don't think is referring to one-time catheters that are inserted from the groin area, as in CCSVI venoplasty. I think it's the central venous catheters, such as in dialysis treatment, that are inserted in directly and left in for months or longer.Jugular wrote:Ironically, one of the potential complications of catheter insertion in the IJV's is IJV thrombosis:

Then one can say that there is a small risk of thrombosis. I think the IR's performing the procedure would be well-versed in the risks associated with it anyway especially since they have to elicit informed consent. If they are not mentioning it, the risk must be small and the consequences less severe. Since venous angioplasty seems to be a new thing, though, I wonder if the prospects of thrombosis would increase with catheter plus angioplasty? It's hard to say since there are no long term studies of CCSVI angioplasty treatments.Cece wrote:I don't think is referring to one-time catheters that are inserted from the groin area, as in CCSVI venoplasty.

I got put on the anticoags for my arterial stents. Does that mean thrombosis is a risk there too?Cece wrote:Jugular, it's because of the risk of thrombosis (clotting) that people are put on anticlotting anticoagulants. It is indeed a risk of this procedure. I do not think it's a risk of simply inserting the catheter but definitely of the ballooning itself, since that damages the vein walls.
