MS patients did not benefit from CCSVI intervention, landmark pilot study of 'liberation treatment' finds

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a disease of uncertain etiology characterized by demyelinating lesions affecting the central nervous system. In 2009, Dr. Paolo Zamboni et al described an association between MS and extra cranial venous outflow restrictive lesions detected by extra cranial and intracranial venous duplex studies.

They named this venous outflow restriction chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). In addition, they introduced an endovascular interventional treatment for CCSVI in an open-label study that included 65 MS patients with post procedure follow-up of over 18 months. Several subsequent prospective open-label, non-randomized studies investigated safety and…
