A new study on Transvascular Autonomic Modulation (TVAM) was published in the June 2014 edition of the Journal of Endovascular Therapy. The study compares the efficacy of the TVAM procedure vs. traditional balloon angioplasty in improving cardiovascular autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients.

QSART Assessment of Venous Autonomic Modulation Authors: Arata M., Debarge P. Institution: Synergy Health Concepts, Newport Beach, CA, USA Background Diagnostic tests used to assess autonomic nervous system (ANS) function such as heart rate variability (HRV) have been applied in MS and track with physical disability and disease progression. Sympathetic activity in particular correlates with […]

Authors: M. Arata, Z. Sternberg Institution: Synergy Health Concepts, Newport Beach, CA Background Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) has been described as a condition resulting from impaired CNS venous drainage. Venous balloon angioplasty (BA) has been performed as a treatment for CCSVI. Autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction has been proposed as mechanism underlying the occurrence […]

Authors: Michael A. Arata, M.D. Institution: Synergy Health Concepts, Newport Beach, CA Background Patients undergoing central venous angioplasty (CVA) have demonstrated improvement in autonomic parameters. We hypothesize that this results from stimulation of low pressure baroreceptors during balloon inflation. This report describes the assessment of the autonomic effect of CVA using HRV parameters. Further, the […]

Authors: Michael A. Arata, M.D., Zohara Sternberg, Ph.D., Steven Cen, Ph.D. Institution: Synergy Health Concepts, Newport Beach, CA Purpose Chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) has been described as a condition resulting from impaired CNS venous drainage in multiple sclerosis (MS) patients. Venous balloon angioplasty (BA) has been performed as a treatment for CCSVI, although a […]
