Thanks agate for this information.

If the MS society has a play in this, it will surely end up to be a "Wait and See" approach. They never stick their neck out for the MS population. They have to be cautious, because the world is watching.

I plan on attending, and have submitted a question. I asked about the safety of using arterial stents in vascular places simply for the sake of getting a blocked area open, and if they are trying to develope special tools just for the "bucket handle" area that tends to be shut off in the patients they are seeing.

Thanks for the heads up. I am excited to hear this.
