I understand your skepticism about CCSVI. I am scheduled for January 7, 2011 at
Albany Medical Center for my first treatment. CCSVI is real, and it may not be related to Multiple Sclerosis. Little is known about veins - they are the stepchildren of vascular science. Veins are far more variable that arteries. The Albany group has done over 1,000 angioplasties. So far, 1/3 get markedly better, 1/3 see some improvement in symptoms, and 1/3 get no result.
