CCSVI Treatment by reducing the increased venous pressure due to dilatation or stenting of the narrowed or blocked veins
"Able to climb stairs like a normal person, one leg after the other.
I am noticing little things daily but am happy with the outcome…" C.T., Canada
According to Zamboni and earlier researchers, the inflammatory lesions and symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS) can be caused by increased venous pressure in the brain´s and spine´s veins, the vessels which return the blood to the heart. The increased pressure results in deposition of the blood´s iron around the small veins in the brain, in turn inducing an inflammatory reaction. This is the process believed to be responsible for CCSVI.
Treatment according to this theory is based on relieving the increased venous pressure by opening up blocked or narrowed (stenosed) veins in the neck, chest and abdomen.
Outline of CCSVI Treatment – Second Day
After these so called stenoses have been identified by MR venography, ultrasound/ doppler and catheter venography, they can be treated by dilation, i.e. widening of the narrowed sections of critical veins. Critical here means that not all stenoses are believed to cause CCSVI: the main culprits seem to be located at the lower internal jugular veins (neck veins) and in the azygos vein (inside the chest).
Dilatation of stenosed venous segments is performed by balloon angioplasty. For this, a large vein in the groin (the femoral vein) is punctured with a needle after local anaesthesia. A sheath is introduced into the vessel to provide an easy access for catheters which are advanced through the veins of the pelvis along the inferior and superior vena cava into the azygos and neck veins. At the site of the stenosis, a ballon is inflated to dilate the vein and remove the obstacle.
In certain cases, the vessel is kept open by using a stent, a small metal cage to prevent the elastic veins from closing again.
Blood thinning with Heparin keeps the blood from forming clots (anticoagulation) during the procedure and for three weeks thereafter.
The procedure takes between 1 - 2 hours and is generally pain free. Only during the ballon inflation a pressure can be felt by some patients at the site of the dilatation.

The costs for CCSVI Treatment
The costs for CCSVI Treatment, including coordination, mediation and English language support depend on the art of the necessary investigation, additional packages, like High-Pressure Balloon Dilatation, and start from € 3900 up to € 5000.
