Since 2010 AMEDS Centrum has professionally dealt with the diagnosis and treatment of chronic cerebro-spinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI). This venous system pathology, which has only recently been described by Prof. P. Zamboni, shares a striking similarity with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Our center has treated more than 500 MS patients to date, from Poland and abroad (a majority of patients have come from Canada and the Scandinavian countries), 38% of which have been men. Average age of our patients was 46 years.

We have performed over 500 venous angioplasty to date at AMEDS Centrum. The positive effects of treatment of MS patients are noticeable both in the objective assessment of the patients’ quality of life as per the MSIS-29 system, as well as in our own assessment. Based on the scale for measuring fatigue levels, improvements reach up to 35%. After 4-6 months, more than half of our patients report a positive change in mobility and daily activity.
In addition to the services currently offered, the staff of AMEDS Centrum plans to conduct clinical trials into the efficacy and safety of angioplasty in CCSVI patients. We also actively participate in international scientific conferences (CCSVI Congress Glasgow, October 2010, Venous Endovascular Forum Katowice, March 2011, ISNVD&CNR Congress Bologna, March 2011) where we present our own experiences and keep abreast of progress in the field.
Dr. Maciej Zarebinski, AMEDS Centrum Medical Team Leader, would like to thank all our patients for placing their trust in us and for sharing (by answering our survey) their opinions on the treatment they received at AMEDS Centrum.
