Note from Dr. Sandy McDonald:

Sunday September 11 2011

The study I will be doing is not in conjunction with anyone else.

The protocol title is as follows

“An observational study using doppler duplex ultrasound quantifying the occurrence of jugular vein re-stenosis and complications following angioplasty to treat chronic cerebral spinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI)“

This study has IRB approval but does not allow me to do angioplasty--

This study allows me to do follow-up duplex ultrasound on pts pre and post treatment done elsewhere. This study does not endorse any specific treating facility.

I hope to get the study underway this fall.

I hope this clarifies any misconception.


Thanks for your help. S
