Iliac vein compression.--Its relation to iliofemoral thrombosis and the post-thrombotic syndrome.

Iliac vein compression.--Its relation to iliofemoral thrombosis and the post-thrombotic syndrome.

Elastic compression stockings fail to prevent post-thrombotic syndrome after a first deep vein thrombosis.

Context Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) is a chronic complication of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) characterised by clinical features ranging from minor limb swelling to leg ulceration. One in three patients with DVT will develop PTS sequelae within 5 years, with most cases reported within the first 2 years. Venous hypertension, resulting from valvular reflux and residual thrombus, is implicated ...

Stent Compression in Iliac Vein Compression Syndrome Associated with Acute Ilio-Femoral Deep Vein Thrombosis

OBJECTIVE This study was conducted to evaluate stent compression in iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) and to identify its association with stent patency. MATERIALS AND METHODS Between May 2005 and June 2014, after stent placement for the treatment of IVCS with acute ilio-femoral deep vein thrombosis, follow-up CT venography was performed in 48 patients (35 women, 13 men; age range 23-87 ...

Incidence and Clinical Signs of Post Thrombotic Syndrome in Patients with Deep Vein Thrombosis in a Three-year Follow-up

Background and purpose: Despite extensive studies on prevention and management of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), less attention has been paid to chronic venous insufficiency. The persend study aimed to investegite the incidence and clinical signs of post thrombotic syndrome in patients with deep vein thrombosis. Materials and methods: A descriptive retrospective study was done in patients with DV...

Extrinsic compression of left iliac vein does not predict the development of post thrombotic syndrome in left side deep venous thrombosis

PURPOSE Left side deep venous thrombosis (DVT) is associated with May-Thurner's anatomical variation and is often instigated by invasive treatment. The aim of this study is to analyze the influence of left iliac vein narrowness on incidence of post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) that developed after left side DVT. METHODS Forty-one left side DVT cases that were followed up for more than 1 year wer...
