Phlebology: Ultrastructure of internal jugular vein defective valves

It has just been published in the journal Phlebology the article "Ultrastructure of internal jugular vein defective valves." 


About this, Professor Paolo Zamboni, director of the Vascular Diseases Center of the University of Ferrara, declared that electron microscopy shows that in the jugular valves of patients with CCSVI lacks the basic cell that is the endothelial cell, the cell that normally lines the inside of blood vessels human.

This study published in Phlebology, the magazine of the Royal Society of Medicine that deals with diseases of the venous system, demonstrates with certainty that CCSVI exists and is an important pathology of the human vascular. The problem, says Prof Zamboni, is linked to a lack of imaging techniques with the accuracy required to demonstrate in clinical practice, the co-existence of CCSVI with several neurodegenerative diseases, including multiple sclerosis.
