I have successfully had the CCSVI procedure, but feel it is necessary  to take all steps to keep the benifits that I have gained. I have looked into takeing Pine Bark Extract and feel it is worthy of a try.

Interestingly there were studies done in 2004

Petrassi C, Mastromarino A, Spartera C. PYCNOGENOL in chronic venous insufficiency. Phytomedicine. 2000;7:383-388.
