Endovascular Treatment for Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI)

February 9, 2015 updated by: Marian Simka, Euromedic Specialist Clinics, Poland

Endovascular Correction of Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) and Evaluation of Influence of These Treatments on the Symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis

The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of endovascular treatment (balloon angioplasty and/or stenting) for the improvement of clinical symptoms in multiple sclerosis patients.
