Liberation CCSVI Surgery - An Introduction

By Tracey Holgado
CCSVI is formally known as Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency. This condition involves the improper drainage of blood from the brain due to the constricted condition of the drainage veins from the central nervous system.

The constriction is often attributed to blockages in the vascular network coming from the brain. Due to the pliant nature of the vein, it is much easier to have stenosis to occur. In order to correct this, CCSVI Liberation Surgery is recommended as the vascular intervention intends to free the flow of blood from the brain.

CCSVI Liberation Surgery is designed to remove the blockages from the venal system. The accumulation of waste tainted blood in the brain leaves iron deposits in the cells that lead to cell degeneration. Because these are brain cells, brain functioning becomes severely affected.

CCSVI Liberation Surgery uses balloon angioplasty to increase blood from from the brain. An incision is done in the neck area, then a tube is inserted into the identified area of stenosis. At the tip of the tube is a balloon and once very near the blockage, is inflated gradually until the blockage is removed thus liberating the flow of blood from the brain.

This procedure may take several hours depending upon the number of stenoses present, and the level of difficulty in reaching and freeing them. Patients must lay flat for 7 to 9 hours after surgery so that their veins are not taxed immediately after the procedure. Patients generally do not need to be hospitalized for an extended amount of time.
