Arterial Compression of Left Iliac Veins: Five-Year Patency Rates of Endovascular Treatment

Arterial Compression of Left Iliac Veins: Five-Year Patency Rates of Endovascular Treatment Endovascular angioplasty and stenting have become a treatment of choice for severely symptomatic left iliac veins under external, arterial compression. Patency rates of stented iliac veins based on ultrasonographic (US) findings were estimated. Retrospective analyses of gender, age, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prior to stenting, stent location at common and/or external iliac veins, and patency rates from 1 month to 5 years were performed. Patients treated were mostly women (72 of 79, 91%), aged 51 ± 16 (25-89) years. Patency rates were 96% at 1 month, 89% at 1 year, and 85% at 3 to 5 years, best for common iliac, 95%, than for external iliac vein stents, subgroup with prior DVT, with secondary patency rates of 75%. US demonstrated acceptable patency rates for iliac vein stenting showing good performance for common iliac vein stents but a decreased performance with stent extending to the external iliac vein or stents placed in patients with prior iliac DVT. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Journal for Vascular Ultrasound SAGE

Abstract

Endovascular angioplasty and stenting have become a treatment of choice for severely symptomatic left iliac veins under external, arterial compression. Patency rates of stented iliac veins based on ultrasonographic (US) findings were estimated. Retrospective analyses of gender, age, deep venous thrombosis (DVT) prior to stenting, stent location at common and/or external iliac veins, and patency rates from 1 month to 5 years were performed. Patients treated were mostly women (72 of 79, 91%), aged 51 ± 16 (25-89) years. Patency rates were 96% at 1 month, 89% at 1 year, and 85% at 3 to 5 years, best for common iliac, 95%, than for external iliac vein stents, subgroup with prior DVT, with secondary patency rates of 75%. US demonstrated acceptable patency rates for iliac vein stenting showing good performance for common iliac vein stents but a decreased performance with stent extending to the external iliac vein or stents placed in patients with prior iliac DVT.
