Consider the deaths reported in connection to CCSVI procedures. The association is in name only. Death occurred only from the treatments of the stents implanted. Not one death has been reported from a procedure to treat CCSVI. Stents are implanted every day, to address many health issues, in many areas of the body. There can be complications from stents. The treatments of these complications, which are basically the same regardless of the primary condition the patient has. Why is the death of a patient with CCSVI in the mainstream media, and no special media reports for the deaths of patients with cardiovascular or peripheral stents. To have a diagnose of MS and CCSVI is complex enough.
