Reason why people relapse I believe is from the vein not keeping it's stretch. Stent should be forever. Pharmacist I turned on to ccsvi told me his news letter said dissolve-able stents will be out in 3 yrs. I don't have 3 though. Let us know how the mri goes Aarcyn. I only had doppler done by non-zamboni-trained tech and I hear thats ng. I also was told by pharmacist when I said my left is 8mm and right 4mm, he said left is bigger because of heart side. Scans that I found online that may possibly show everything well is CT Angiography. Check out pics of that online. Here's some ccsvi links I posted once before:
