Dr. Simka heeft gereageerd op de
discussie tussen neuroloog Stewart en Dr. Mark Godley. De uitzending was een aanfluiting, maar de reactie van Dr Simka is interessant.
Een paar citaten:
Citaat:
an approach of "just wait for more evidence, unless there is no option for you" makes no sense. On the contrary, the treatments should be performed immediately after the first symptoms appear.
Citaat:
MS should be managed by neurologists, while narrowing of blood vessels belong to vascular surgeons". You know, being a surgeon, I would never discuss a doseage of neurologic drugs, for example. So, why are the neurologists discussing which type of surgery should or should not be performed? Have they ever held a lancet?
Citaat:
The whole discussion about stent migration is ridiculous. All are saying: "Don't perform stenting because of the risk of migration". Nobody is discusing: "How to perform the procedure to avoid this complication". In Poland, we have spent hours discussing this issue. And it is only a technical problem that CAN be solved and HAS been solved. It is the problem of proper preop diagnostics, proper intraop tactics and proper choice of the stent.
Citaat:
Another problem. Many doctors say: "We should establish the actual link between MS and CCSVI, and having these data we can perform treatments". Is such an approach correct? No !
Citaat:
In Poland we say: Dogs are barking, but they will not stop the caravan."
Het gedeelte over de stents heb ik ook bij 'Ludyga's stents' geplaatst.
