Symptoms and Possible Consequences
CCSVI causes a high sensitivity and specifically separates healthy people from MS sufferers. Current studies suggest that a subtype of MS sufferers have CCSVI present. The the liberation process attempts to remove a blockage in blood vessels leading to the brain. These blockages cause a build up of iron in the brain, which trigger autoimmunity and degeneration of the nerve's myelin sheath.
Treatments for MS have been proposed and tested on a small groups of patients. Below are some known possible symptoms, and consequences of the treatment.
Hypoxia
Hypoxia is a pathological condition in where a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply. A common result of hypoxia is fatigue and possible unconsciousness.
Delayed Perfusion
This may cause a delay in the nutritive delivery of arterial blood to the capillary bed.
Reduced Drainage of the Catabolites
Catabolites is a substance created during the process of catabolism. This process breaks down molecules down into smaller units and then releases energy.
Increased Transmural Pressure
This may increase the pressure difference between the pressure inside and the pressure outside the walls of the blood vessel.
Iron Deposits Around the Cerebral Veins
These are iron deposits trapped in the brain.
Every Surgical Procedure Has It's Dangers, BUT...
The sooner patients can be diagnosed and treated for CCSVI, the more functions the surgeons will be able to reserve, and the less change of damage imbalanced blood flow can cause the brain.
Zamboni believes that the sooner patients can be diagnosed and treated for CCSVI, the more functions they will be able to save, and the less damage the imbalanced blood flow can cause the brain.
Because MS is a progressive disease and strikes young people, if we lose time, there are a lot of young people that will progress without possibility to get back. This is very heavy for me." - Dr. Paolo Zamboni
Zamboni also warned, that this treatment cannot offer wheelchair bound people the chance to regain the use of their limbs. Instead this is a case of damage limitation. It will stunt further developments of the attack, and in some cases improve mobility and reduce chronic fatigue, both common symptoms of MS. This is a race against time!
