What went wrong? The flawed concept of cerebrospinal venous insufficiency

In 2006, Zamboni reintroduced the concept that chronic impaired venous outflow of the central nervous system is associated with multiple sclerosis (MS), coining the term of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency ('CCSVI'). The diagnosis of 'CCSVI' is based on sonographic criteria, which he found exclusively fulfilled in MS. The concept proposes that chronic venous outflow failure is associa...

Endovascular Therapy for Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency in Multiple Sclerosis

Recent reports have emerged suggesting that multiple sclerosis (MS) may be due to abnormal venous outflow from the central nervous system, termed chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). These reports have generated strong interest and controversy over the prospect of a treatable cause of this chronic debilitating disease. This review aims to describe the proposed association between...

The Hemodynamics of Blood Flow through the Internal Jugular Veins after CCSVI Endovascular Treatment and its Impact on the Quality of Life in Patients with Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency

Objectives: The aim of the study was to compare preand post-operative blood flow through the internal jugular veins (IJVs) in patients with multiple sclerosis and chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, who were subjected to endovascular treatment. The results were correlated with respect to changes in the quality of life. Methods: 144 MS patients underwent endovascular treatment of the IJV...
