Minimally invasive treatment of chronic iliofemoral venous occlusive disease

Background As one of the primary etiologies of the post-thrombotic syndrome, chronic venous occlusion is a huge burden on patient quality of life and medical costs. In this study, we evaluate the short-term and midterm results of endovenous recanalization by angioplasty and stenting in chronic iliof...

Zusammenfassung:Background As one of the primary etiologies of the post-thrombotic syndrome, chronic venous occlusion is a huge burden on patient quality of life and medical costs. In this study, we evaluate the short-term and midterm results of endovenous recanalization by angioplasty and stenting in chronic iliofemoral deep venous occlusions. Methods This is a retrospective observational study set in a tertiary medical referral center. Patients with venous claudication or C4-6 venous disease combined with duplex and magnetic resonance-confirmed iliofemoral or caval occlusion were included. Patients with recent deep vein thrombosis (
