My mother is a 40 year MS sufferer. She has the remmisive form where she goes all gibbled in a certain area of her body, but eventually bounces back after 5 or 6 months. She has an attack of it every few years or so. She looked into this surgery, and there is a major problem that Zamboni does not like to discuss. The stents they use are designed for arteries which are far more robust, not veins. There is fear that these stents will cause irreparable damage to the veins in the long term, and the damage my come very quick.
Also I may have arteries and stents mixed up, but that was the jist of it, when I suggested she look into it. Her MS specialist said if the treatment proves to be successful after it has actually been PROPERLY researched, he will prescribe it to every single one of his qualifying patients. However right now the studies are shaky, and sample sizes far too small to be taken serious at this time.
