Radio graphic and Intravascular (IVUS) Evaluation of Venous Morphology During Chronic Cerebral Spinal Venous Insufficiency Treatment

Study Overview

Status

Unknown

Conditions

Detailed Description

To determine the safety and validity of venous angioplasty and valvuloplasty in the treatment of CCSVI. In addition, it will allow researchers to sub-classify valve morphology in relation to treatment success. This will be evidenced by venous patency forty-eight hours by Doppler ultrasound as well as clinical symptom improvement.

Study Population

Many questions remain about how and when CCSVI might play a role in nervous system damage and whether venous angioplasty is helpful in treating the symptoms of CCSVI. Utilizing intravascular ultrasound (IVUS,) this pilot study will provide data that will allow researchers to evaluate venous morphology pre- and post- percutaneous angioplasty and sub-classify valve morphology as related to treatment success by distinguishing vessels which are more responsive to treatment. In addition, this study will validate the safety of valvuloplasty in various neurodegenerative disorders that involve venous obstruction.
