Research from Rush University Medical Center in Chicago: A total of 107 endovascular procedures were performed in 95 patients for CCSVI. Endovascular evaluation showed venous lesions requiring intervention in 90 of 95 patients (94.7%). The results of the current study suggest that endovascular evaluation and management of chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency is safe, with low morbidity and no procedure-related mortality.
