CCSVI
If you have been diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS), you may have Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI).
This has significant application to Multiple Sclerosis and other neurological conditions and suggests that the vascular aspect may be as important as the neurological component in the disease process.
What is CCSVI?
Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) and its treatment were pioneered by researcher, former vascular surgeon and professor Dr. Paulo Zamboni at the University of Ferrara in Italy. CCSVI is a chronic condition in which blood from the brain has difficulty returning to the heart. It is caused by a narrowing or "stenosis" in neck, chest, and spinal veins that drain the central nervous system. In some cases, there is a development of alternate veins in an attempt to facilitate additional drainage. The research suggests that because these compensatory blood vessels do not have the same wall integrity as larger veins, they leak cellular waste into the adjacent tissue, resulting in an accumulation of toxins and deposition of iron. This has significant application to Multiple Sclerosis and suggests that the vascular aspect may be as significant as the neurological component in the disease process.
