A Surrey woman is crediting an experimental procedure performed at Victoria General Hospital for clearing up her multiple sclerosis symptoms, even if the treatment earned her doctor a professional rebuke.
Kornelija Valentic, a 38-year-old mother of three who is nearly disabled by MS, said all she hoped to get from the procedure was an end to her constant headache.
幾乎癱瘓的38歲的Kornelija Valentic 只希望藉由此手術能夠解決他的頭痛問題。
But within 48 hours of the procedure, which involves widening veins in the neck, she was walking better, her vision improved, she recovered feeling her hands and feet and regained control of her bladder.
但在48小時的手術過程後,靜脈擴張後,他走得更好了,他的視力改善了,他可以感覺到他的手和腳而且可以控制膀胱,可以自主的控制自己的排尿了!
真是太棒了!!
However, last week it was learned the Victoria radiologist who performed the procedure, along with one other, had been chastised by medical officials at Vancouver Island Health Authority for performing what's considered an experimental procedure outside of an approved trial.
The treatment, known as "liberation procedure" has unleashed enormous pressure from MS patients and their supporters on doctors and health administrators ever since it was first reported in 2008.
"I wanted the headaches gone," said Valentic in a telephone interview. "My little bonus is being able to make it to the bathroom, being able to see, hand-tremors that are gone and I can drink my coffee without spilling anything.
我只是不想要頭痛而已,但我卻意外獲得了許多的回復,我能夠自主的到浴室,我看得見了,手顫抖的情形消失了,以後我喝咖啡的時候不會再把咖啡濺出來了!
I wasn't expecting it. But you know what? I'll take it."

有沒有失敗的案例?

不少人對此手術還是沒信心!!順便問問!!

目前美國史丹佛大學的實驗中有一位因為放入支架(stents)而造成死亡的案例,所以目前都是使用氣球擴張術。所以病友們在求醫問診時一定要告訴醫師不要使用支架,使用氣球擴張就好!
