PHLEBOLOGY - Percutaneous angioplasty of internal
jugular and azygous veins in patients with
chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency
and multiple sclerosis: early and mid-term
results http://phleb.rsmjournals.com/content/early/2013/04/05/0268355513481766.abstract

"...Conclusion: Endovascular treatment of the IJV and azygous veins in patients with CCSVI and MS is a safe procedure with no post-procedural complications followed by significant improvement of IJV flow haemodynamic parameters and decrease in the EDSS score. Whether CCSVI percutaneous treatment might affect clinical improvement in patients suffering from MS is yet to be seen after completion of major multicentric clinical trials, still it seems like that this procedure is not negligible."
