Patient Q & A
For this section, we’ve asked a series of patients, all of whom have been treated for CCSVI, some practical questions about their treatment experience.
All patients participating in this Q & A were treated at one of various treatment centers in the United States; some received angioplasty alone, others received stents or a combination of angioplasty and stents. To respect patient anonymity, we have not included patient names. The patient responses provided here are not intended to be all-inclusive, but rather a sampling of first-hand experiences.

Dr. Dake Looks Forward
During the 2014 VEITH Symposium Sharon Richardson, CCSVI Alliance President, interviewed Dr. Michael Dake. Dr. Dake discussed CCSVI and its future, including its potential impact on a broad range of neurological diseases. Dr. Dake also discussed the March 2015 ISNVD scientific conference.
During the 2014 VEITH Symposium Sharon Richardson, CCSVI Alliance President, interviewed Dr. Paolo Zamboni about his presentation. In the interview Dr. Zamboni discussed developments over the past five years in CCSVI, including patient selection and progress of his double blinded “Brave-Dreams” clinical trial. Dr. Zamboni also discussed NASA’s use of his “Drain Brain” neck collar in experiments being conducted on the International Space Station.
For more information, review ISNVD’s Position Paper on multimodal screening for detection of CCSVI and Astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti’s reporting from the International Space Station on her use of Dr. Zamboni’s neck collar technology.
