Blog CCSVI Clinic

Multiple sclerosis is a disease of unknown origin. Currently, it is supposed to have an autoimmune basis. This means that the patient's immune system fights cells of his own body. The disease mainly affects young people between 20 and 40 years of age, with women suffering more often than men.

In fact, multiple sclerosis is a disease that we know little about. Currently, medicine is trying to relieve the symptoms of MS with medicines. Meanwhile, in many countries, the search for causes of this disease and alternative forms of therapy is underway. In 2009, it was noticed that many patients with multiple sclerosis had problems with blood circulation. The venous system responsible for draining blood from the brain and spinal cord works badly. As a result, blood in the brain leads to inflammation, and these induce neurological symptoms associated with MS.

The procedure currently used in our clinic in the treatment of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) is at the highest global level. Both advanced diagnostics and operational techniques reduce the risk of side effects to a minimum. For this reason, people suffering from multiple sclerosis are very often interested in it. There may or may not be signs of venous insufficiency in MS. The patients' interest in new forms of therapy is understandable. While the procedure of clearing the veins may restore their proper functioning, it is difficult to say that about pharmacological treatment.

We are pleased to inform you that in the second half of January in our clinic we hosted the world-renowned vascular surgeon prof. Salvatore Sclafani and Dr. Franz Schelling, who is the authority in the diagnosis of venous deformities. Our guests actively participated in both pre-operative and surgical tests.

Many patients with multiple sclerosis or other neurodegenerative diseases wonder if they have venous insufficiency (CCSVI). Our experience shows that this is not always the case. Some people who report to us have obvious symptoms of CCSVI. There are also those patients whose blood flow from the brain and spinal cord is impeccable.

Hello,

my name is Agnieszka Ogrodowska and I deal with patient service at CCSVI Clinic. I would like to share with you the information which in our opinion is very important from the point of view of people suffering from MS / CCSVI.

In the second week of January, we come to the clinic of prof. Salvatore Sclafani from the USA. He is a vascular surgeon with the largest experience in the world in terms of CCSVI operations. It is true that legal obstacles meant that he could never operate vessels inside the skull, but at the level of jugular veins and vessels inside the body there are no people with more experience in the world. The combination of prof. Sclafani and our neurosurgeons are CCSVI at an even higher level.

Professor Sclafani will participate in operations only between January 6 and 9, and his educational experience can not be overestimated. If any of you are wondering about the operation of CCSVI in our clinic, please contact us as soon as possible. In addition to prof. Sclafani, in January we will be honored again by the presence of dr. Franz Schelling from Austria, awarded the gold medal INSVD (the highest CCSVI award) for pioneering research and teaching the relationship of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency with MS, honorary President of the organization "Associazione CCSVI nella Sclerosi Multipla - Onlus, his participation will be limited to pre-surgery and planning diagnostics operations.

Best wishes
