"Liberation Treatment" of CCSVI - Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency
Research from Italy indicates that stenoses (narrowings) of veins, vessels which drain the blood from the brain back to the heart, might be responsible for the development and symptoms of multiple sclerosis (MS). The disease has become known under the term "CCSVI - chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency".
Dr. Paolo Zamboni, a vascular surgeon from Ferrara in Italy, has demonstrated this in a recently published scientific study on patients with multiple sclerosis. The treatment is easy: A simple widening of the narrowed veins a method which has become known under the term "liberation treatment".
In the group of the treated patients the percentage of active lesions in the brain and spine dropped from 50 % to 12 %. Compared to the relapse rate of 50 % within two years before the treatment, 73 % of the treated patients had no further relapses within two years after the treatment. The treated patients also had a significant improvement of their cognitive and motor function - as measured by test called MSFC scale - compared to untreated patients who showed no such improvements, 3D rendering of the venous system of the head and neck in an MS patient with narrowings (stenoses) [arrows] of the veins draining the brain.
For MS patients: CCSVI Screening- and Treatment Programme
In collaboration with Boston University School of Medicine we have developed a non-invasive screening programme for MS patients to reliably detect venous stenoses of the head, neck and chest. "Extended region MR-venography" affords a high-resolution, three-dimensional depiction of the vessels (veins) draining the head within 15 to 20 minutes without any radiation hazard.
If stenoses can be detected, quantitative flow measurements can be performed to provide information about the pressure inside the veins. Relevant stenoses can be treated minimally invasively by dilation with ballon-catheters and, if necessary, stents.

Scientifical research on CCSVI
To explore CCSVI scientifically and provide professional medical care the CCSVI-Center in Frankfurt has assembled a team of Neurologists, diagnostic and interventional Radiologists and Cardiologists for the diagnostic work-up and treatment of patients with CCSVI
.
We have also established international collaborations with research institutions also interested in CCSVI, most notably Prof. Zamboni himself and Profs. Kim and Kabutei from Boston University School of Medicine in the US and are in correspondence with other researchers such as Prof. Haacke.
A preliminary publication of our experience with CCSVI appeared at the RSNA (Radiological Society of North America) meeting in Chicago 2010. We are currently evaluating our data of more than 200 patients for publication.
We have established a network of collaboration partners who are actively pursuing CCSVI:
- Ducksoo Kim, MD, Professor of Radiology, Boston University Medical Center, Boston USA
- Dr. Salvatore J.A. Scalfani, MD, Professor of Radiology, SUNY Downstate Medical Center, New York, USA
- David A. Koff, MD, Professor of Radiology, McMaster University, Hamilton, Ontario, Canada
