CCSVI Procedure Details in Merida, Mexico

What is CCSVI Liberation Surgery?

CCSVI, or Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency, is a syndrome affecting some persons with multiple sclerosis.
Multiple sclerosis (MS) tends to affect the ability of the brain’s nerve cells to communicate with one another.
In particular, CCSVI compromises the role of venous blood flow in draining the nervous system. Thus may contribute to the development of multiple sclerosis.

The CCSVI procedure in Merida, Mexico

Prior to treatment you will receive extensive pre-op testing consisting of an MRVenogram of the jugular and vertebral veins (the azygos vein will be examined during the procedure), bloodtest and neurological assessment.

The actual CCSVI procedure will be done under Conscious Sedation, which means you will be able to respond to verbal commands but have an altered level of consciousness and will not feel pain.
In a few cases, patients may require general anesthesia if deemed medically necessary. Veins treated will be the azygos, both internal jugular veins and the vertebral veins.
