Endovascular surgery for the treatment of symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis. Preliminary report
open access
Abstract
Material and metods: Four subjects underwent endovascular correction of the venous outflow and some of them experienced alleviation of their MS-related symptoms after the procedure.
Results and conclusions: At this moment, it is very difficult to establish if there are real benefits arising from endovascular therapy for these patients. However, early results are very encouraging and studying larger patient populations may bring answers to many important questions.
