CCSVI and MS: A Doctors' Roundtable Discussion

CCSVI Alliance presents a roundtable discussion with many of the world's leading CCSVI researchers and physicians.

                                                        

Filmed at the 2011 Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) conference in Chicago, the roundtable discusses critical CCSVI topics, including CCSVI treatment effectiveness, the cause of CCSVI, the link between CCSVI and MS, and the future of CCSVI treatment.

Moderated by Dr. Michael Dake, the roundtable included Drs. Bulent Arslan, Gary Siskin, Avertano Noronha, Ziv Haskal, E. Mark Haacke, Lindsay Machan, Salvatore Sclafani, and Donald Ponec.


Talking Shop: Experiences Treating CCSVI

CCSVI Allliance presents Dr. Gary Siskin, Chief of Radiology, Albany Medical Center.

                      

Dr. Siskin, whose team has treated over 500 CCSVI patients, provides fascinating insight into the types of venous abnormalities he's seeing in MS patients, the effects of treatment, and his thoughts on the future of CCSVI.

 

Neurologists and Vascular Specialists Working Together

CCSVI Alliance President Sharon Richardson facilitated a discussion between Dr. Paolo Zamboni, originator of the CCSVI hypothesis, and Dr. Jack Burks, prominent MS neurologist. Recorded on January 17, 2011, at the International Symposium on Endovascular Therapy (ISET), in Miami Beach, Florida. Enjoy this CCSVI Alliance exclusive video.

 

The Connection between CCSVI and MS

"In my view, venous obstruction is a promoter for MS, like many other things are promoters for MS .... but what has people excited (about CCSVI) is that this promoter is reversible." - Dr. Michael Dake, Stanford University

CCSVI Alliance's first educational event, "MS and the CCSVI Connection: What do we know? What don't we know? Where do we go from here?," was held January 10, 2011 at Brandeis University, Waltham, MA, with Dr. Michael Dake, Stanford University School of Medicine. A large crowd from all different backgrounds (patients and professionals; supporters and skeptics) listened to Dr. Dake's presentation and participated in an active Q & A. Here are the highlights.
