New publications and an interventional radiology conference with Prof. Dake

Une nouvelle publication scientifique est apparu :
  • Simka M et al.: Reinterpreting the magnetic resonance signs of hemodynamic impairment in the brains of multiple sclerosis patients from the perspective of a recent discovery of outflow block in the extracranial veins. [simka10a]
Publications en travail :
  • Zamboni et al.: Endovascular Treatment for Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency in Multiple Sclerosis: A Longitudinal, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Blinded Pilot Study. [zamboni10a]
  • Lee BB et al.: Embryological Background of Truncular Venous Malformation in the Extracranial Venous Pathways as the Cause of Chronic Cerebro-Spinal Venous Insufficiency. [prep_lee10a]
Prof. Dake gives a presentation at the annual meeting of interventional radiologists about stenting jugular veins for MS. The presentations can probably be watched on a webcast.

Pilot study of Zamboni, Zivadinov and Weinstock-Guttman published

L'étude pilote de Zamboni, Zivadinov and Weinstock-Guttman est en linge.

Zamboni P, Menegatti E, Weinstock-Guttman B, Schirda C, Cox JL, Malagoni AM, Hojanacki D, Kennedy C, Carl E, Dwyer MG, Bergsland N, Galeotti R, Hussein S, Bartolomei I, Salvi F, and Zivadinov R:
The severity of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency in patients with multiple sclerosis is related to altered cerebrospinal fluid dynamics. [zamboni09h]

Consensus Document of the International Union of Phlebology (IUP) – 2009

A consensus conference on venous malformations[uip09] – headed by Prof. Byung B Lee from Georgetown – and experts from 47 countries – studied the evidence and unanimously voted in favour of officially including the stenosing lesions found in CCSVI in the new Consensus document and Guidelines.

[lee09a]

This paper can be brought to interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons. CCSVI lesions are classified as a truncular venous malformations - which means that vascular doctors have now classified this disease, CCSVI, as congenital- and preceding MS lesions.
