The notion that chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) might underlie multiple sclerosis (MS) has taken the MS community by storm, as described in a recent news report in the New York Times. Unfortunately, this idea has generated enormous controversy, in large part because opportunists have taken advantage of the situation, performing interventional procedures (so-called "liberation" angioplasty) on MS patients for profit.
