Woodlands Hospital provides specialized Chronic Cerebro Spinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) with a focus on evaluating venous blood flow, identifying relevant venous abnormalities, and providing individualized vascular care. Established in 2001, the accredited hospital is located in Darlington, United Kingdom and operates 38 beds with modern vascular and diagnostic facilities.

Chronic Cerebrospinal Venous Insufficiency (CCSVI) refers to impaired venous drainage from the brain and spinal cord, historically attributed to narrowing or other abnormalities of certain veins. Evaluation may involve Doppler ultrasound, CT or MR venography, and, in selected cases, catheter-based venography. Although venous angioplasty or stenting has been investigated as a treatment, evidence has not established CCSVI treatment as an effective therapy for multiple sclerosis. Management should therefore be based on the specific venous abnormality and established clinical indications.
