Re-intervention for occluded iliac vein stents

Stacey Black, Amy Janicek, M. Grace Knuttinen

Abstract

Iliac vein stenting has become more frequent with improved diagnostic capabilities of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for recognizing May-Thurner syndrome, chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) and thrombus. In this manuscript, we discuss the reasons for initial stenting, with long-term outcomes and some of the associated pitfalls. The best techniques for re-intervention when iliac stents become occluded will also be discussed.
