Dr Zambonis surgical process or liberation procedure as it is being referred to has been receiving significant support and control group testing is ongoing with some excellent results. The MS Society which was originally cautious about this new approach is willing to fund further controlled testing to prove or disprove the theory which is a welcomed by the many sufferers of MS.
The principal behind Dr Zambonis theory is quite simple and makes sense even to the non-medical man in the street. Tests have shown that the blood vessels to the brain in MS sufferers are often restricted, by opening up the vessels and restoring blood flow to an acceptable level has shown some sustained and promising improvements in MS patients. This flys in the face of the belief that MS is an auto-immune condition.

About the CCSVI Procedure
The CCSVI procedure is simple and is performed using a local anaesthetic. The patient is given an injection that allows the surgeon to monitor the vascular system on the x-ray throughout the procedure. A balloon catheter is inserted and guided into the jugular vein and is expanded to increase the blood flow. If the vein fails to expand to the required level, a stent, which is like a solid frame is implanted to support the vein walls.
CCSVI procedure patients are required to remain flat for a minimum of six hours after completion of a successful surgery. Patients will be required to take daily anti-coagulants for the remainder of their life span. With a six month follow up review of the treated veins.
MS sufferer have been applying in their hundreds to take part in the ongoing trials. Many believe that if there is the slightest hope that a CCSVI procedure will halt the progress of their condition and provide relief from some or all of the debilitating symptoms the treatment should be readily available for all. At the present time it is not widely available in the US, Canada or the UK but in the near future more people will be made aware of this revolutionary procedure.
