Ten Lessons Learned in Iliac Venous Stenting
ثبت نشده
چکیده
I liac vein stenting is an extension of arterial stent technology. The two share some technical similarities and much of the hardware; however, the indications for and purpose of iliac vein stenting are fundamentally different from arterial practice. Pathophysiologic differences require specific modifications of techniques as well. The clinical outcome of iliac vein stenting has been surprising in some aspects, challenging long-held core concepts.

BACKGROUND Only 20% of iliac veins will recanalize on anticoagulation (AC) treatment alone and may, therefore, develop venous obstruction after iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). A considerable number of these patients will suffer from post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) leading to impaired quality of life in more than 50%. Endovascular treatment for iliac vein obstruction using stents is kno...
