Azygos Vein 胸腔靜脈的角色不容忽視

國外有一位加拿大病友Dawna在做了CCSVI "Liberation treatment"之後，情形沒有特別好轉，病人認為：在手術過程當中，Azygos Vein 胸腔靜脈並未被檢查，而且只有左邊的Internal Jugular vein 被擴張(超音波檢查當中，已確認兩側的頸靜脈狹窄)，所以術後的情形並未如其他病友來的好，請見以下：

In her case, the doctors found that though preliminary Doppler results indicated that she had blockage on both sides, only one side would be venoplastied. Their reasoning was that there was sufficient blood flow on one side during surgery while the other was blocked. After the venoplasty, doctors indicated that there was better blood flow in the vein, post surgery. After being moved to her bed, Dawna's hand were warm- something that hasn't been for some time. This was the good news so far. However, Dawna was in a lot of pain from the surgical site in her groin.

(理由有點奇怪...為何不同時把兩邊都擴張？)

Update on Symptoms:

• Continued numbness on right side (and left arm)
• Body feeling constantly achy in the bones
• Weakness in my legs and especially arms & hands
• Right leg extremely sensitive to touch
• Bladder issues continuing
• Extreme fatigue
• Tingling throughout my body, much like I'm being poked with tiny needles
• I cannot bend my arms or legs for more than a few minutes without losing some circulation in them. ie. if I sleep with my arm bent at the elbow, my hand will become cold.

On the improvement side:

• Limp is still gone
• hands still fluctuate between cold and warm

I am hearing of so many people receiving treatment for CCSVI, and having their azygos vein checked and treated. I am not even sure that mine was looked at! I felt so great the first week post-treatment, where my left vein was ballooned....
It is so difficult to just take this one day at a time .. waiting to see if I physically improve. I have had to stop reading people's stories of their Liberation .. it's just so hard to constantly see people have these miraculous recoveries, while mine seems to have stagnated. Does treatment of the azygos vein mean the difference between increased recovery and plateaus? Would I have had greater recovery if my azygos vein had been treated? I wish I had the answers.

Dawna迫切的想知道，是否Azygos Vein 胸腔靜脈的擴張對於復原情形扮演著重要的角色，是否
Azygos Vein 胸腔靜脈的擴張會讓他更好？

所以，若可能的話，在檢查或手術過程當中，一定要做到同時把 Jugular vein 和 azygos vein一併處理，才不會有類似Dawna的case發生。
