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.
