Abstract
The management of lymphatic fistulas following surgical procedures, in particular after inguinal lymphadenectomy, represents a significant clinical challenge. The current case report shows the novel use of the superficial circumflex iliac perforator (SCIP) pedicle vein for lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) to treat a chronic inguinal lymphatic fistula in a 58-year-old male patient. This patient had developed a persistent lymphorrhea and wound dehiscence after a right inguinal lymph node biopsy performed for oncological reasons 1.5 months before. Pre-operative assessment with indocyanine green (ICG) lymphography confirmed a substantial lymphatic contribution to the wound discharge, thus guiding the surgical strategy. During the procedure, a pedicled tissue segment containing the SCIV was dissected and utilized to fill the wound's dead space and facilitate LVA with the leaking lymphatic vessel. Notably, a coupler device was employed for the anastomosis due to the large caliber of the lymphatic vessel involved, a technique not commonly reported in lymphatic surgeries. The result of the procedure was successful, with intra-operative ICG imaging confirming the patency of the anastomosis. After surgery the wound healed without complications. This case illustrates the potential of SCIV employment in lymphatic fistula repair in the inguinal region. While further research is needed to validate these findings, this report provides an unconventional approach to a relatively common problem in clinical practice.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To explore the feasibility and recent efficacy of iliac vein molding and stenting in daytime treatment mode in patients with iliac vein stenosis. METHODS Medical records of iliac vein molding and stenting performed in the ipsilateral great saphenous vein approach conducted from February 2017 to March 2022 were retrospective reviewed. There were 21 cases, 6 males and 15 females. Age ranged from 37 to 79 years [(62.5 ± 10.2) years]. The stenosis in the 21 limbs simply involved the common iliac veins in 16 patients, 2 patients had the simple and external iliac veins, and both the total and external iliac veins in 3 patients. Both iliac vein molding and iliac vein stenting were performed through the ipsilateral great saphenous vein approach. The patients with simple iliac vein stenosis with great saphenous vein valve insufficiency also underwent radiofrequency closure of great saphenous vein and flexural vein sclerosis therapy simultaneously. Regular postoperative direct oral anticoagulants therapy and stress therapy were followed. All the patients were hospitalized for less than 24 h. RESULTS All the 21 patients operations were successful (the success rate was 100%), without any intraoperative complications. Immediate postoperative complications were puncture point bleeding in 1 case. The bandage gauze was completely wet. The bleeding was stopped after 5min of recompression. All the patients were hospitalized for less than 24 h. Follow-up results: The 3-month follow-up rate after operation was 100%. Absolute effective 18 cases (18/21, 85.7%). Relatively effective(postmentation still after surgery, but with less extent) in 3 cases (3/21, 14.3%). The iliac vein stents were unobstructed, and the trunk of the great saphenous vein was well closed in the patients with great saphenous vein radiofrequency treatment. The 6-month follow-up rate after operation was 71.4%(15/21). Of these, 14 cases (14/15, 93.3%) were absolutely effective. Relatively effective(postmentation still after surgery, but with less extent) in 1 case (1/15, 6.7%). The iliac vein stents were no restenosis or obstruction, and the trunk of the great saphenous vein was well closed in the patients with great saphenous vein radiofrequency treatment. CONCLUSION The interventional treatment technique of iliac vein stenosis is feasible in the daytime treatment mode, with clear advantages and satisfactory recent efficacy.

Abstract
This study evaluated the safety and efficacy of a novel endovascular thrombectomy device in a swine model of deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The device has an over-the-wire configuration, a manually expandable catching basket, a funnel sheath with a covered stent to minimize the risk of microembolization, and an integrated delivery system. DVT was induced by occluding the right iliac vein with a balloon catheter and injecting thrombin. The novel device was inserted into the inferior vena cava through the right jugular vein access. The device effectively removed the thrombus, restoring venous patency without residual thrombus, vessel injury, or complications. These findings suggest the potential advantages of the novel device over predicate devices. Further clinical evaluation is needed to establish the efficacy of this device in human patients with DVT.

Abstract
PURPOSE To establish an animal model for in-stent restenosis (ISR) after postthrombotic iliac vein stent placement and characterize histopathological changes in tissue within the stented vein. MATERIALS AND METHODS Iliac vein thrombosis was induced using balloon occlusion and thrombin injection in 8 male Boer goats. Mechanical thrombectomy and iliac vein stent placement were performed 3 days after thrombosis induction. Restenosis was evaluated by venography and optical coherence tomography (OCT) at 1 and 8 weeks after stent placement, and stent specimens were taken for pathological examination after the animals were euthanized. RESULTS Thrombosis induction was successful in all 8 goats, with >80% iliac vein occlusion. After thrombus removal, OCT revealed considerable venous intimal thickening and a small number of mural thrombi. Neointimal hyperplasia with thrombus formation was observed in all goats 1 week after stent implantation; the degree of ISR was 15%-33%. At 8 weeks, the degree of ISR was 21%-32% in 3 goats, and stent occlusion was observed in 1 goat. At 1 week, the neointima predominantly consisted of fresh thrombi. At 8 weeks, proliferplastic fibrotic tissue and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) were predominant, and the stent surfaces were endothelialized in 2 of 3 goats and partially endothelialized in 1 goat. CONCLUSIONS In the goat model, postthrombotic neointimal hyperplasia in the venous stent may result from time-dependent thrombus formation and organization, accompanied by migration and proliferation of SMCs, causing ISR. These results provide a basis to further explore the mechanism of venous ISR and promote the development of venous stents that reduce neointimal hyperplasia.

Abstract
A tapered stent with inclined proximal end is designed for fitting the iliac anatomically. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the safety and performance of the new stent in ovine left iliac veins. The experiment was performed in 30 adult sheep, and one nitinol-based VENA-BT® iliac venous stent (KYD stent) was implanted into each animal's left common iliac vein. Follow-up in all sheep consisted of angiographic, macroscopic, and microscopic examinations at Day 0 (< 24 h), Day 30, Day 90, Day 180 and Day 360 post-stenting (six animals per each time-point). 30 healthy ~ 50 kg sheep were included in this study and randomly divided into five groups according to the follow-up timepoint. All stents were implanted successfully into the left ovine common iliac vein. No significant migration occurred at follow-up. There is no statistically significant difference between the groups (p > 0.05), indicating no serious lumen loss occurred during the follow-up period. Common iliac venous pressure was further measured and the results further indicated the lumen patency at follow-up. Histological examinations indicated that no vessel injury and wall rupture, stent damage, and luminal thrombus occurred. There was moderate inflammatory cell infiltration around the stent in Day-0 and Day-30 groups with the average inflammation score of 2.278 and 2.167, respectively. The inflammatory reaction was significantly reduced in Day-90, Day-180 and Day-360 groups and the average inflammation scores were 0.9444 (p < 0.001, Day-90 vs Day-0), 1.167 (p < 0.001, Day-180 vs Day-0) and 0.667 (p < 0.001, Day-90 vs Day-0), respectively. The microscopic examinations found that the stents were well covered by endothelial cells in all follow-up time points. The results suggested that the KYD stent is feasible and safe in animal model. Future clinical studies may be required to further evaluate its safety and efficacy.

Abstract
PURPOSE Residual or undertreated inflow disease is a major cause of stent occlusion following endovascular thrombectomy for iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT). The profunda femoral vein (PFV) is an important inflow vessel alongside the femoral vein but is traditionally challenging to treat via an antegrade popliteal approach. This technical note describes a novel approach for PFV clearance in iliofemoral thrombectomy via the popliteal vein. MATERIALS AND METHODS Eight patients underwent PFV clearance as part of iliofemoral DVT thrombectomy via an antegrade popliteal approach. In seven patients, a popliteal-profunda communicating vessel was identified permitting PFV access and thrombectomy. In one patient, a popliteal-profunda communicator was not identified and an 'up and over' approach via the femoral bifurcation from the same popliteal access was utilised. Thrombectomy was performed using the Inari ClotTriever device or Penumbra's Indigo system. RESULTS Technical success in PFV thrombectomy was 100%. Six patients (75%) underwent stenting for an iliac stenotic lesion or May Thurner compression point. At the four-week ultrasound follow-up, the pelvic iliofemoral segment was patent in 7 patients (87.5%). The PFV was patent in 7 patients (87.5%) whereas the FV was only patent in 4 patients (50%). One patient underwent reintervention for iliofemoral stent occlusion. No PFV injury occurred and no post-procedure profunda reflux was identified. CONCLUSION PFV clearance can be achieved via an antegrade popliteal approach in iliofemoral thrombectomy to optimise inflow, negating the need for alternative or additional venous access. PFV may maintain upstream iliofemoral vein patency even with an occluded femoral vein. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4, Case Series.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study aimed to compare clinical outcomes associated with the duration of postoperative direct oral anticoagulant (DOACs) therapy in patients with nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed 176 consecutive patients who underwent stenting for nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions between March 2018 and December 2021. In total, 99 and 77 patients were discharged on a 3-month and >3-month regimen of DOAC therapy, respectively. The primary cumulative endpoint was a composite of thrombotic complications, bleeding complications, primary patency, primary-assisted patency, and secondary patency within 1 year. RESULTS Patients undergoing 3-month and >3-month DOAC therapy were similar in age, sex, lesion site, symptoms, and average stent diameter and length. Upon multivariate analysis, the primary cumulative endpoint did not differ between the 2 groups (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.18; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.42-3.30; P = 0.76). Moreover, the primary patency at 1 year did not differ between the groups (HR: 1.50; 95% CI: 0.14-16.54; P = 0.74). Furthermore, there were no discernible differences in the secondary endpoints of bleeding complications (HR: 0.66; 95% CI: 0.22-1.96; P = 0.45) or thrombotic complications (HR: 1.79; 95% CI: 0.55-5.80; P = 0.34) between the groups. CONCLUSIONS The 3-month regimen of DOAC therapy showed a similar risk of postoperative thrombosis and bleeding when compared to longer DOAC therapy durations over the course of 1 year following endovascular intervention. This could be a preferred option for patients with a higher estimated bleeding risk after venous stenting.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (IFDVT) is associated with an incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) of up to 50%. PTS is associated with high morbidity, impaired quality of life and a significant economic burden. The aim of the current study was to assess the impact of a single session pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT), dedicated venous stents and a risk mitigation protocol on the rate of PTS. METHODS Between 2015 and 2022, patients presenting with acute or subacute IFDVT treated with the same protocol of single session PMT, dedicated venous stents, and risk-mitigation measures were included. Procedural success rate, complications, stent patency and incidence of PTS were determined. RESULTS Of 60 patients (58 ± 19 years; 65% male), the procedural success rate was 93%, with 7% of patients experiencing complications but no long-term sequelae or mortality. Most (n = 52; 87%) patients were stented, including 46% across the inguinal ligament. At 3 months post-procedure, primary, assisted primary and secondary stent patency rates were 89%, 93% and 98%, respectively, with no loss of patency or re-interventions after that. At latest follow-up of a median 48 months (n = 32), stent patency rate was 97%, with only three patients (9%) experiencing symptoms of PTS. CONCLUSION Single session PMT, dedicated venous stents and a risk-mitigation protocol results in high success rate, excellent long-term stent patency and low incidence of PTS without compromising safety. These results support early intervention for iliofemoral DVT.

Abstract
When performing stent intervention for iliac vein compression syndrome, the operator selects the appropriate stent and determines its implantation depth according to the type and severity of iliac vein stenosis in the patient. However, there is still uncertainty regarding how the structure of the stent and its implantation depth affect hemodynamics at the site of lesion. In this paper, we analyzed three commonly used stents (Vena stent from Venmedtch, Venovo from Bard, and Smart stent from Cordis) with different implantation depths (0, 10, 20 mm) using computational fluid dynamics (CFD). We focused on evaluating hemorheological parameters such as time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS), oscillatory shear index (OSI), etc., within one pulsatile cycle after stent implantation. The correlation between geometric parameters of the stents and hemodynamic indicators was assessed using Pearson correlation coefficient (r), which was further validated through PIV velocity measurement experiment. The results revealed that an increase in implantation depth led to a more pronounced disturbance effect on blood flow at bifurcation for densely arranged support body-type stents. This effect was particularly significant during periods of smooth blood flow. On the other hand, crown-shaped Vena stents exhibited relatively less disruption to blood flow post-implantation. Implantation depth showed a strong negative correlation with TAWSS but a strong positive correlation with OSI and RRT. These findings suggest an increased risk of thrombosis at iliac vein bifurcation following stent placement. Amongst all three tested stents, Vena Stent demonstrated more favorable periodic parameters after implantation compared to others. These results provide valuable theoretical insights into understanding contralateral circulation thrombosis associated with iliac vein stenting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Presentations of a spontaneous ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula are considered a rare occurrence and warrant urgent intervention. They are usually a result following trauma, previous surgery or uncommonly from a ruptured aneurysm. METHOD We describe a case of a patient presenting with general malaise who examined to have a pulsatile abdominal mass with an associated bruit. He was found to have an ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula secondary to a ruptured iliac aneurysm that was treated successfully with open surgical repair. RESULT The patient was brought forward for open surgical repair due to haemodynamic instability as well as likely predicted difficulties with endovascular repair. Intra-operatively, his sigmoid colon was adherent to the aneurysm prompting the need for a Hartmann's procedure to allow for better visualisation of the aneurysm. A combination of external digital compression and Prolene suture was used to close the arteriovenous fistula. CONCLUSION Open surgical repair of an ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistula secondary to a ruptured iliac aneurysm appears to be safe and feasible approach. The advancement of medical technology does open up the possibility of an endovascular approach; however, in a small subset of patients, open repair would appear to be better.

Abstract
Peripheral venous stent migration is an exceedingly rare complication of endovascular stenting. In this clinical vignette, we present a case of a 74-year-old male with a history of endo-venous laser ablation therapy of the right greater saphenous vein complicated with an occlusion requiring a left iliac vein stent. The patient presented to the clinic months after the procedure with complaints of palpitations. Multimodality imaging revealed a stent that had become dislodged and was now located in the right ventricle, trapped within the tricuspid valve apparatus.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The objective of this study was to compare the outcomes of pharmacomechanical thrombolysis and thrombectomy (PCDT) plus catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) vs CDT alone for the treatment of acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and summarize the clinical experience, safety outcomes, and short- and long-term efficacy. METHODS We performed a 4-year retrospective, case-control study. A total of 95 consecutive patients with acute symptomatic iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) with a symptom duration of ≤7 days involving the iliac and/or common femoral veins underwent endovascular interventions. The patients were divided into two groups according to their clinical indications: PCDT plus CDT vs CDT alone. Statistical analyses were used to compare the clinical characteristics and outcomes between the two groups. Additionally, the patients were followed up for 3 to 36 months after treatment, and the proportions of post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and moderate to severe PTS were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier survival method. RESULTS A total of 95 consecutive patients were analyzed in this retrospective study, of whom, 51 underwent CDT alone and 44 underwent PCDT plus CDT. Between the two groups, in terms of immediate-term efficacy and safety, significant differences were found in the catheter retention time (60.64 ± 12.04 hours vs 19.42 ± 4.04 hours; P < .001), dosages of urokinase required (5.82 ± 0.81 million units vs 1.80 ± 0.64 million units; P < .001), the detumescence rate at 24 hours postoperatively (48.46% ± 8.62% vs 76.79% ± 7.98%; P = .026), the descent velocity of D-dimer per day (2266.28 ± 1358.26 μg/L/D vs 3842.34 ± 2048.02 μg/L/D; P = .018), total hospitalization stay (6.2 ± 1.40 days vs 3.8 ± 0.70 days; P = .024), number of postoperative angiograms (2.4 ± 0.80 vs 1.2 ± 0.30; P = .042), and grade III venous patency (>95% lysis: 54.5% vs 68.6%; P = .047). Furthermore, during the follow-up period, significant differences were found in the incidence of PTS (Villalta scale ≥5 or a venous ulcer: 47.0% vs 27.7%; P = .037), and the incidence proportion of moderate to severe PTS at 12 months (15.7% vs 4.5%; P = .024) and 24 months (35.3% vs 11.4%; P = .016). CONCLUSIONS Compared with CDT alone, in the iliofemoral DVT subgroup with a symptom duration of ≤7 days, PCDT plus CDT could significantly relieve early leg symptoms, shorten the hospitalization stay, reduce bleeding complications, promote long-term venous patency, and decrease the occurrence of PTS and the incidence proportion of moderate to severe PTS. Thus, the short- and long-term outcomes both support the superiority of PCDT plus CDT vs CDT in this subgroup.

Abstract
PURPOSE To report the effectiveness of pharmacomechanical catheter-directed thrombolysis (PCDT) in the management of acute iliofemoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) via the jugular vein using a slow rotation and large-tip device (SRD) in a large cohort of patients. MATERIAL AND METHODS From 2011 to 2021, 277 patients (mean age 45 years, 59.2% women) were treated in 6 centres with PCDT for ilio-fémoral DVT. PCDT was performed via the jugular vein and consisted of one session of fragmentation-fibrinolysis, aspiration and, if needed, angioplasty with stenting. The aim of PCDT was to achieve complete clearance of the venous thrombosis and to restore iliofemoral patency. Residual thrombotic load was assessed by angiography, venous patency by duplex ultrasound and clinical effectiveness by the rate of post-thrombotic syndrome (Villalta score > 4). RESULTS All patients were treated via the jugular vein using an SRD, and all but one were treated with fibrinolysis. Angioplasty with stenting was performed in 84.1% of patients. After the procedure, the residual thrombotic load at the ilio-fémoral region was < 10% in 96.1% of patients. The rate of major complications was 1.8% (n = 5), the rate of minor complications was 4% (n = 11), and one patient died from pulmonary embolism (0.4%) At a median follow-up of 24 months, primary and secondary iliofemoral patency was 89.6% and 95.8%, respectively. The rate of PTS was 13.8% at 12 months. CONCLUSION PCDT via the jugular vein using an SRD is an efficient treatment for acute iliofemoral DVT and results in high long-term venous patency and low PTS rates. Level of evidence Level 4, Case series.

Abstract
May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) is a relatively rare condition involving mechanical compression of a vein between an artery and a bone which may result in venous stenosis, reflux, occlusion, or deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The most common location for MTS to occur is the left iliocaval confluence, specifically where the left common iliac vein crosses under the right common iliac artery and becomes compressed against a vertebral body. Our case represents a unique presentation of MTS where a missed diagnosis of MTS during a presentation of acute LLE DVT over 15 years ago which would later progress to chronic bilateral iliac vein occlusion and IVC obliteration. This also ultimately contributed to recurrent left lower extremity (LLE) DVT. The hypothesis for this case is that our patient had May-Thurner syndrome at the time of his original LLE DVT 15 years ago that went undiagnosed. He likely had "spillover" thrombus that occluded the right iliac venous system and resulted in IVC thrombosis at that time. What resulted was obliteration of the IVC between the iliac vein confluence and the renal vein level and bilateral iliac veins. The chronicity of the occlusion creates a uniqueness to this case as there are sparse reports of such longstanding ileo-caval occlusion being recanalized after such a prolonged duration.

Abstract
Background: Pharmaco-mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) and catheter-directed thrombolysis (CDT) are therapeutic options for selected patients with acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) to prevent post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Patients and methods: We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics and outcomes of 159 patients with symptomatic iliofemoral DVT undergoing PMT alone, CDT alone, or CDT followed by PMT (bail-out) in the Swiss Venous Stent Registry. The primary outcome was the incidence of peri-interventional major and minor bleeding complications (ISTH criteria). Secondary outcomes included the incidence of PTS and stent patency after 3 years. Results: Mean age was 49±20 years and 58% were women. DVT involved the iliac veins in 99% of patients, whereas 53% had an underlying iliac vein compression. PMT alone was used in 40 patients, CDT alone in 77, and 42 received initial CDT followed by bail-out PMT due to insufficient thrombus clearance. Single-session PMT was the preferred approach in patients with iliac vein compression, patent popliteal vein, and absence of IVC thrombus. Patients treated with PMT alone received a lower r-tPA dose (median 10 mg, IQR 10-10) vs. those treated with CDT (20 mg, IQR 10-30). The rate of peri-interventional major bleeding was 0%, 1%, and 2%, whereas that of minor bleeding was 0%, 1%, and 12%, respectively, all occurring during CDT. After 3 years, PTS occurred in 6%, 9%, and 7% of patients, respectively. The primary stent patency rate was 95%, 88%, and 83%, respectively. Conclusions: The use of PMT and CDT for iliofemoral DVT was overall safe and resulted in high long-term patency and treatment success. Given the less severe presentation of DVT, single-session PMT appeared to be characterized by numerically better primary patency and lower perioperative bleeding event rates than CDT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the clinical efficacy and safety of novel ZelanteDVT™ catheter rheolytic thrombectomy in the single-session endovascular management of subacute deep venous thrombosis (DVT). METHODS A retrospective study was performed on 31 patients with subacute DVT who underwent ZelanteDVT™ catheter rheolytic thrombectomy. Procedure data, associated complications, and venous patency score were recorded. The deep venous patency and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) rate were assessed in all patients during follow-up visits. RESULTS After procedure, 19.4% (6/31) patients improved to grade III thrombus removal, while the remaining patients improved to grade II. Significant iliac vein compression syndrome was identified in 54.8% (17/31) patients, and 82.4% (14/17) of them received stent implantation. No serious procedure-related complications occurred. The median follow-up time was 13 months. The primary patency rate at 12 months was 83.87%, and the incidence of PTS was 19.35%. CONCLUSION This novel rheological thrombectomy catheter seems to have a promising application prospect for single-session treatment of subacute DVT.

Abstract
Spontaneous iliac vein rupture (SIVR) is extremely rare and can lead to serious complications, including death. Etiologies include inflammatory processes and hormonal and mechanical triggers, with concomitant May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) being a rare cause. Management can be challenging due to the difficult balance between reducing thrombotic burden and life-threatening hemorrhage that can result from aggressive anticoagulation. Furthermore, surgical interventions are associated with high mortality, making conservative management more desirable. We report a case of SIVR with retroperitoneal hematoma and concurrent MTS that was successfully managed using conservative measures. We further provide a narrative review of the current literature addressing the diagnosis, management, and outcome of SIVR focusing on cases with concurrent MTS.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The overall goal of this report is to provide a high-level, practical approach to managing venous outflow obstruction (VOO) in Australia and New Zealand. METHODS A group of vascular surgeons from the Australian and New Zealand Society for Vascular Surgery with specific interest, training, and experience in the management of VOO were surveyed to assess current local practice. The results were analyzed and areas of disagreement identified. Following this, the group performed a literature review of consensus guidelines published by leading international organizations focused on the management of chronic venous disease, namely the Society for Vascular Surgery, American Venous Forum, European Society for Vascular Surgery, American Vein and Lymphatic Society, Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology Society of Europe, and American Heart Association. These guidelines were compared against the consensus statements obtained through the surveys to determine how they relate to Australian and New Zealand practice. In addition, selected key studies, reviews, and meta-analyses on venous stenting were discussed and added to the document. Finally, a selection of statements with >75% agreement was voted on, and barriers to the guideline's applicability were identified. RESULTS The document addresses two key areas: patient selection and technical aspects of venous stenting. Regarding patient selection, patients with a CEAP (Clinical-Etiologic-Anatomic-Physiologic) score of ≥3 or a venous clinical severity score for pain of ≥2, or both, and evidence of >50% stenosis on venography, computed tomography venography, magnetic resonance venography, and/or intravascular ultrasound should be considered for venous stenting (level of recommendation Ib) Patients undergoing thrombus removal for acute iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis, in whom a culprit stenotic lesion has been uncovered, should be considered for venous stenting (level of recommendation Ib). Patients with chronic pelvic pain, deep dyspareunia, postcoital pain affecting their quality of life, when other causes have been ruled out, should be considered for venous stenting (level of recommendation Ic). Asymptomatic patients should not be offered venous stenting (level of recommendation IIIc). CONCLUSIONS Patients with deep VOO have been underdiagnosed and undertreated for decades; however, in recent years, interest from physicians and industry has grown substantially. The advent of simpler and safer treatment options has revolutionized its management, but, unfortunately, formal training for venous disease has not grown at the same rate. Simplifying the technology and training required can result in inconsistent outcomes. These guidelines are aimed at developing standards of care and will serve as an educational platform for future developments.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) is currently the gold standard for measuring the severity of chronic venous disease, especially in patients with chronic proximal venous outflow obstruction (PVOO) secondary to non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions. Change in VCSS composite scores is often used to quantitatively measure the degree of clinical improvement after venous interventions. This study sought to assess the discriminative ability, sensitivity, and specificity of change in VCSS composites for detecting clinical improvement after iliac venous stenting. METHODS A registry of 433 patients who underwent iliofemoral vein stenting for chronic PVOO from August 2011 to June 2021 was retrospectively analyzed. These 433 patients had follow-up exceeding 1 year after the index procedure. Change in VCSS composite and clinical assessment scores (CAS) were used to quantify improvement after venous interventions. CAS is an assessment by the operating surgeon based on patient self-reporting to assess the degree of improvement at each clinic visit compared with before the index procedure longitudinally across the treatment course of a patient. Patients are rated as worse (-1), no change (0), mildly improved (+1), significantly improved (+2), and asymptomatic/complete resolution (+3) at every follow-up visit as compared with their disease severity prior to the procedure based on patient self-report. This study defined improvement as CAS >0 and no improvement as CAS ≤0. VCSS was then compared with CAS. Receiver operative characteristic curve and area under the curve (AUC) were used to evaluate change in VCSS composite for its ability to discriminate between improvement and no improvement after intervention at each year of follow-up. RESULTS Change in VCSS was a suboptimal measure for discriminating clinical improvement (1-year AUC, 0.764; 2-year AUC, 0.753; 3-year AUC, 0.715). Across all three time points, a change in VCSS threshold of +2.5 maximized the sensitivity and specificity of the instrument to detect clinical improvement. At 1 year, change in VCSS at this threshold was able to detect clinical improvement at a sensitivity of 74.9% and specificity of 70.0%. At 2 years, VCSS change had a sensitivity of 70.7% and specificity of 66.7%. At 3 years of follow-up, VCSS change had a sensitivity of 76.2% and specificity of 58.1%. CONCLUSIONS Across 3 years, change in VCSS exhibited a suboptimal ability to detect clinical improvement in patients undergoing iliac vein stenting for chronic PVOO with considerable sensitivity but variable specificity at a threshold of 2.5.

Abstract
ABSTRACT Objective: This study evaluated the feasibility of a combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression in managing fatal venous hemorrhage in a canine model of pelvic fracture. Methods: Rectums from humans (rectal cancer patients), swine, and canines were retrieved to determine their elasticity by measuring their stress and strain. Canines were selected as the animal model in this study because their rectum demonstrated more reversible strain than swine rectum. Doppler ultrasound was used to assess the effect of rectal balloon volume on the blood flow of pelvic iliac blood vessels in three canines. A rectal balloon of 250 mL was chosen to control pelvic venous bleeding as it could provide a peak effect in reducing the blood flow of bilateral internal iliac veins. Then, the open-book pelvic fracture with fatal bleeding of both internal iliac veins animal model was built. The animals were divided into four groups after the modeled surgery to undergo no treatment, pelvic binder, rectal balloon compression, or a combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression. The treatment efficacy was evaluated based on their survival time, survival rate, blood loss, bleeding rate, infusion rate, blood pH, lactate concentration, the stability of hemodynamics, blood loss, and fluid infusion volume. Results: Our results showed that after the reproducible injuries in both internal iliac veins, the combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression was associated with the best survival rate and survival time compared with the other treatment groups. In addition, the combination of pelvic binder and rectal balloon compression exhibited more stable hemodynamics than the pelvic binder or rectal balloon compression treatment alone. Conclusions: This study demonstrated the potential feasibility of using pelvic binder combined with rectal balloon compression to manage the fatal venous bleeding in pelvic fractures.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate the safety and effectiveness of venous stenting in patients with chronic iliofemoral venous obstruction and secondary lymphedema from malignancy. METHODS From July 2012 to December 2020, patients with iliofemoral venous obstruction and secondary lymphedema who underwent venous stenting in our institution were retrospectively reviewed. Clinical characteristics, surgical complications, and symptom relief were assessed. Stent patency was evaluated with duplex ultrasound or computed tomographic venography. Twelve-month outcomes were reported. RESULTS Fifty-three patients with concurrent secondary lymphedema who had stents placed for iliofemoral venous obstruction were included. There were 42 females, and the mean age was 56.9 years. Nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions were identified in 16 (30.1%) patients. Immediate technical success was 100%, with an average of two stents implanted. The median Villalta score, and Chronic venous disease quality of life questionnaire scores decreased from 12 (IQR, 10-15) and 58 (IQR, 50-66) at baseline, respectively, to 5 (IQR, 4-6) and 28 (IQR, 22-45) at 12 months after the procedure (p <.05), showing significant improvement in the quality of life. At the end of a median follow-up of 12 months (range 3-25 months), the cumulative primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency rates were 70.8%, 76.9%, and 90.1%, respectively. CONCLUSION In patients with secondary lymphedema from malignancy, venous stent placement is safe and effective for iliofemoral venous obstruction.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) is a relatively rare condition associated with significant morbidity. Its management continues to evolve, with increasing use of endovascular adjuncts, such as percutaneous thrombectomy and angioplasty, in addition to first rib resection. The utility of stenting residual venous stenotic lesions is poorly defined within the literature. This study sought to review the medium term patency rates of upper limb deep venous stenting in the management of vTOS. METHODS A single centre, retrospective review of patients managed for vTOS with first rib resection followed by upper limb deep venous stenting between January 2012 and February 2021 was conducted. Post-procedural ultrasounds were reviewed to determine stent patency. RESULTS Twenty-six patients were included, with 33 stents placed. The median duration of follow up was 50 months. On venous duplex ultrasound at three years post-operatively, primary patency rates were 66%, primary assisted patency rates were 88%, secondary patency rates were 91%, and total occlusion rates were 9%. After stent placement, 80% of patients remained asymptomatic with regard to compression symptoms. CONCLUSION Upper limb deep venous stenting is an effective adjunct to surgical decompression in the management of vTOS. Stent medium term patency rates are promising; however, further studies with longer follow up and larger cohorts with multicentre results are required to confirm these early findings.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic venous disease of the lower extremities is one of the most common diseases in the United States. The sequelae of this disease process are the source of a significant amount of morbidity, and its prevalence is expected to increase in the coming decades. Interventional therapy is warranted for relief of patients with CEAP C3-C6 disease. With advances in endovascular therapy, chronic iliocaval venous occlusion (CICVO) pathology can be corrected through minimally invasive approaches with limited morbidity and mortality. However, failure to recanalize the venous system leads to high failure rates. The purpose of this study was to assess the procedural success for recanalization of CICVO in the community setting using the novel technique of the Baylis radiofrequency (RF) wire in patients who had failed previous endovascular intervention. METHODS A retrospective review of patients who underwent RF recanalization for CICVO at our institution from 2019 to 2020 was conducted. All patients had failed previous endovascular attempts at recanalization. The primary outcome was recanalization (defined as restoration of >70% of luminal patency as determined on multiplanar venography [MPV] and intravascular ultrasound [IVUS]) confirmed on both IVUS and MPV. Secondary outcomes included adjunctive interventions and complications (hematoma, pulmonary embolism, new onset renal insufficiency). RESULTS A total of 10 patients, 50% male with a mean (standard deviation) age of 58.4 (10.4), were evaluated in the study. Successful recanalization was achieved in 60% of cases, with a resolution of >70% of luminal obstruction observed using MPV and IVUS. Adjunctive interventions were performed in 70% of cases. There were no clinically significant complications or blood transfusion requirements. CONCLUSIONS New techniques and technologies continue to be developed for advanced endovascular management of CICVO, especially with the expanding market for Food and Drug Administration approved venous stents. The Baylis RF wire can assist in recanalization and treatment of patients who had failed previous endovascular therapy.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to investigate the short-term outcomes of three endovenous procedures in patients with varicose veins (VVs) and severe iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). METHODS A total of 158 consecutive patients were included in this multicenter retrospective study from May 2017 to December 2019; 54 patients underwent endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) alone, 47 patients underwent EVLA and balloon angioplasty (BA), and 57 patients underwent EVLA and stenting angioplasty (SA). Clinical outcomes and complications were assessed at one and twelve months post-surgery. The Quality of life (QoL) was assessed by the venous clinical severity score (VCSS) and Aberdeen Varicose Vein Questionnaire (AVVQ). RESULTS Patients who underwent the SA procedure were older (P < 0.05). Incidence of laser ablation complications was similar among the three procedures; closure rates of the great saphenous vein were 96.8%, 98.0%, and 98.4%, respectively, at 12 months. Reflux times in the SA procedure were lower than those in the EVLA and BA procedures at 12 months, while ulcer healing time was faster with the SA procedure (P < 0.05) than with the other procedures. The VCSS and AVVQ values were significantly improved post-procedure (P < 0.05), with lower AVVQ scores in the SA procedure than in the EVLA and BA procedures at 12 months post-surgery. The EVLA and BA procedures (stenosis >70%) caused a significantly higher symptom recurrence than the SA procedure, with an odds ratios of 14.04 (95% confidence interval (CI), 1.99-99.18) and 10.50 (95% CI, 1.26-87.15), respectively. CONCLUSIONS Our results demonstrate that EVLA and SA procedures relieve symptoms, improve the QoL, and decrease symptom recurrence in patients with VVs and severe IVCS (stenosis >70%).

Abstract
RATIONALE Common iliac artery aneurysm (CIAA) is complicated by ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistulas (IIAVF), which is rare but fatal and require prompt diagnosis and appropriate treatment. As open repair is associated with high morbidity and mortality, endovascular therapy is considered appropriate for treating an IIAVF. PATIENT CONCERNS A 76-year-old male patient who developed an IIAVF as a complication of ruptured CIAA, requiring immediate surgical repair presented to the hospital with hemodynamic instability. DIAGNOSIS Computed tomography angiography and conventional angiography revealed an IIAVF. INTERVENTION Endovascular therapy was selected to reduce the risk of morbidity and mortality. As the angiogram after the first endovascular aneurysm repair with stent-grafting showed contrast medium filling in the aneurysm sac, right common iliac vein, and the inferior vena cava, an aortic extension cuff was inserted into the right common iliac vein to close the orifice on the venous side. OUTCOMES The right lower leg edema and discomfort were resolved immediately after the procedure, with the vital signs remaining stable. Computed tomography performed 6 months postoperatively showed patent stent-grafts of the artery and vein, with no evidence of IIAVF and endoleak. LESSONS IIAVF following CIAA rupture can be repaired successfully by stenting of the common iliac vein with an aortic extension cuff. For successful endovascular repair, the vein side of the fistula tract should be excluded with a stent-graft to block the backflow into the aneurysm sac.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many clinicians will prescribe anticoagulation therapy for patients after iliac vein stenting to prevent early or late stent thrombosis. At present, it is unknown whether therapeutic anticoagulation has any effect on stent patency. Thus, we assessed the role of short-term anticoagulation on iliac vein stent patency in patients with nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVLs). METHODS We performed a retrospective medical record review of all iliac vein stents placed for NIVLs at the Center for Vascular Medicine from January 2018 to December 2019. We compared the stent patency in the two groups. The anticoagulation (AC) group had received rivaroxaban or apixaban postoperatively for a minimum of 90 days and were compared with a group that had received no postoperative anticoagulation (NAC). Stent patency was assessed using transabdominal ultrasound at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24, and 30 months. At the discretion of the treating physician, the patients who demonstrated thrombus layering on surveillance ultrasound scanning continued rivaroxaban or apixaban until thrombus resolution was observed. The demographics and stent location, diameter, and length were assessed. Stent patency was analyzed using life table analyses. Differences in stent patency were analyzed using GraphPad Prism, version 8, statistical software (GraphPad Software Inc, La Jolla, Calif) and the log-rank (Mantel-Cox) test. RESULTS The number of patients and stents in each group were as follows: AC group, 299 patients and 308 stents; and NAC group, 77 patients and 90 stents. The average age was 52.24 ± 13.44 years and 55.63 ± 14.49 years in the AC and NAC groups, respectively (P ≤ .065). Women constituted 76% of the patients in the AC group and 72% in the NAC group. The average stent diameter and length for the AC group was 20 ± 2 mm and 77 ± 13 mm and for the NAC group was 19 ± 2 mm and 82 ± 9 mm, respectively. The stents had been placed in the right common iliac vein, bilaterally, or left common iliac vein territory in 15%, 3%, and 82% in the AC group and 18%, 2%, and 80% in the NAC group, respectively. The cumulative stent patency at 30 months was 98.7% and 94.6% for the NAC and AC groups, respectively (P ≤ .83). All the stents placed were Wallstents (Boston Scientific, Marlborough, Mass). A total of eight insertion site thromboses occurred that did not affect stent patency: five in the AC group (1.6%) and three in the NAC group (4.5%; P = .15). In addition, 19 patients demonstrated evidence of thrombus layering, with 6 receiving extended anticoagulation. CONCLUSIONS Our data indicate that perioperative stent thrombosis in patients with NIVLs is uncommon. Thus, anticoagulation for perioperative stent thrombosis prophylaxis is not necessary. Anticoagulation should only be used for patients with insertion site thromboses and should be considered if thrombus layering is observed on surveillance scanning.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we evaluated the technical and clinical outcomes after endovascular inferior vena cava (IVC) reconstruction in patients with nonmalignant obstruction. METHODS The preoperative, procedural, and follow-up medical records and imaging studies were retrospectively reviewed for 59 consecutive patients who had undergone endovascular IVC reconstruction for nonmalignant obstruction from February 2014 to January 2019. The patients were classified into three groups according to the quality of their infrainguinal inflow vessels. The outcomes measured were the primary, primary-assisted, and secondary patency rates, reintervention rates, and symptomatic resolution. RESULTS The indications for treatment were post-thrombotic syndrome (n = 41), acute deep vein thrombosis (n = 12), and retroperitoneal fibrosis (n = 6). The median patient age was 37 years, 11 months, 71.2% were men, and 32.2% had a diagnosis of thrombophilia, with no significant difference in these demographics between the three inflow groups. The median follow-up duration was 2 years, 3 months (range, 6 months to 6 years, 5 months). The whole-cohort primary patency was 91.2%, 71.0%, and 24.1% at 1, 3, and 5 years, respectively. Secondary patency was 76.7% at 1 year and 66.4% at both 3 and 5 years. Inflow group A (no post-thrombotic disease in the femoral or deep femoral veins) demonstrated significantly higher primary patency compared with group B (stenotic disease in one or two infrainguinal inflow veins; P = .009) and significantly higher secondary patency than for both groups B (P = .008) and C (all three infrainguinal inflow veins had stenosed or femoral and/or deep femoral vein occlusion was present; P = .04). In post-thrombotic syndrome patients, the Villalta scores had decreased from a mean of 14.2 to 8.1 at 1 year and 6.8 at 2 years, and the Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study Quality of Life score had improved from a mean of 19.8 to 54.1 and 57.3 at 1 and 2 years, respectively. In the patients with acute deep vein thrombosis, the Villalta score was 2.8 at 1 year and 0 at 2 years. In the patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis, the Venous Insufficiency Epidemiological and Economic Study Quality of Life score had improved from a mean of 25.3 at baseline to 44 at 6 months. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular IVC reconstruction for nonmalignant obstruction can achieve good patency and clinical improvement, although the outcomes were poorer for patients with post-thrombotic disease of the femoral and deep femoral veins.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The Venovo venous stent (BD/Bard Peripheral Vascular) is indicated to treat iliofemoral veno-occlusive disease. We present our own experience with the Venovo venous stent in treating iliac vein compression (ILVC). METHODS In this retrospective cohort, we included consecutive patients treated with the Venovo venous stent for ILVC at our center. Stent deployment and sizing were guided by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Minimal luminal areas at the compression before and after treatment were measured by IVUS. Clinical improvement was determined by symptoms reported by patients and the Clinical Etiologic Anatomic and Pathophysiologic (CEAP) score. The primary safety endpoint was freedom from acute venothromboembolic disease, stent migration, perforation, acute/subacute closure, and vascular complications. The primary safety endpoint was target-lesion revascularization at 1 year. RESULTS A total of 50 consecutive patients (57 Venovo stents, 36 women, mean age, 59.8 ± 16.3 years) were included. IVUS-measured mean percent stenosis at the compression site was 64.8% ± 12.8%. Mean total stent length and diameter were 78.0 ± 54.0 mm and 17.1 ± 1.9 mm, respectively. The primary safety endpoint was met in all subjects. Procedural technical success was 100% (successful deployment with no complications). At 1 year, 83.8% of patients reported improvement in their symptoms. Freedom from total occlusion at 1 year was 100% (data available for n = 30 patients). Target-lesion revascularization (TLR) was 2% at 1 year due to 1 patient who had stent explantation from worsening ipsilateral left leg and back pain. CONCLUSION In this single-center experience, the Venovo venous stent was safe and effective in treating ILVC with 98% freedom from TLR at a follow-up of 1 year. Improvement in symptoms was reported in the majority of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We sought to investigate mid-term clinical outcomes and identify risk factors in one of the largest comprehensive series reported of femoro-ilio-caval (FIC) vein stent placement. BACKGROUND Endovascular intervention with balloon angioplasty and stenting of the iliac and common femoral veins has become first-line treatment for symptomatic deep venous outflow obstruction. METHODS We conducted a single-center, retrospective analysis of 180 patients who underwent FIC stent implantation between May 2017 and May 2019; 327 procedures were performed. Our primary objective was to evaluate a composite of stent thrombosis and stent restenosis. Secondary outcomes included individual predictors of in-stent restenosis (ISR) and in-stent thrombosis (IST), primary and secondary patency, access-site complications, major bleeding, pulmonary embolism, cardiovascular death, any death, intracranial bleeding, all-cause mortality, and components of major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in a 24-month period. RESULTS A total of 327 procedures were performed for 180 patients. At 2-year follow up, 78.3% of cases remained free of any complication. Primary outcome occurred in 53 procedures (16.2%) and was highest at early (<30 days) follow-up. Primary patency at 2-year follow-up was 78.43%. There were no deaths, 1 patient (0.3%) had a subdural hematoma, and 3 patients (0.9%) had MACCE. Age and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) were significant predictors of primary outcome. PTS and Venous Clinical Severity score (VCSS) ≥10 were found to have higher rates of thrombosis. Active smokers, the elderly, history of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and VCSS ≥10 had a statistically significant elevated risk of ISR. CONCLUSION Endovascular treatment with stent implantation for non-thrombotic iliac vein lesion and PTS is safe, with low morbidity, zero mortality, low complications, and persistent improvement of symptoms. Age and PTS were significant predictors of primary outcome.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE In the present study, we evaluated the feasibility of a self-expanding venous stent for treating iliofemoral venous obstruction. METHODS The present retrospective study reviewed the data from 49 patients who had undergone Zilver Vena (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Ind) stent placement for treatment of iliofemoral venous obstruction from September 2017 to March 2019. All patients had undergone received follow-up duplex ultrasound examinations to assess for stent patency. The Villalta scores and Venous Clinical Severity Scores (VCSSs) were also calculated to stratify the postoperative improvement in disease. RESULTS Of the 49 patients, 19 had had acute deep vein thrombosis, 7, nonthrombotic iliac venous lesions, and 23, post-thrombotic syndrome. At 1 year after Zilver Vena stent placement, the primary, assisted primary, and secondary patency rates were 93.8%, 95.9%, and 97.9%, respectively. The baseline median Villalta score before treatment for those with post-thrombotic syndrome was 19 (range, 11-30), and the median VCSS for the patients with post-thrombotic syndrome and nonthrombotic iliac venous lesions was 11 (range, 6-25). At 1 year after stent placement, the median Villalta score for the post-thrombotic syndrome patients was 4.0 (range, 2-18), and the median VCSS for the post-thrombotic syndrome and nonthrombotic iliac venous lesions patients was 3.0 (range, 2-12). CONCLUSIONS Venous placement of self-expanding stents offers excellent 1-year patency rates and improved the outcomes of patients with iliofemoral venous obstruction caused by acute deep vein thrombosis, nonthrombotic iliac venous lesions, and post-thrombotic syndrome.

Abstract
PURPOSE To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Protégé nitinol self-expanding stent for the treatment of iliofemoral veno-occlusive disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective review was performed of 376 (284 left, 92 right) Protégé stents in 212 limbs of 183 patients (mean age: 53 ± 17 years, 52% female) treated for iliofemoral veno-occlusive disease between 2011 and 2018. Binary patency was assessed with duplex ultrasound and calculated by Kaplan Meier analysis. Clinical outcomes were evaluated by clinical-etiology-anatomy-pathophysiology (CEAP) classification and Villalta scores. Adverse events were recorded and categorized per Society of Interventional Radiology reporting standards. RESULTS Of the 212 limbs, 125 presented with acute thrombosis and 28 with chronic thrombosis requiring thrombectomy (n = 44), catheter directed thrombolysis (n = 32), or both (n = 77). Fifty-nine limbs were non-thrombotic. Mean follow-up time was 11.44 ± 11.37 months. Kaplan Meier analysis revealed a primary limb-level patency of 92.3%, 88.6%, 86.9% and 86.9% at 6, 12, 24 and 36 months, respectively. CEAP and Villalta scores improved from a median of C3 (range: 0-6) to C1 (0-5) (p < 0.001) and from a mean of 13.4 ± 7.5 to 5.3 ± 4.9 (p < 0.001), respectively. Nine minor and 2 major adverse events were recorded. CONCLUSIONS Endovascular treatment of iliofemoral veno-occlusive disease with the Protégé self-expanding stent appears to have good mid-term patency. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE Level 4, Case Series.

Abstract
Pulmonary embolism ranks third among causes of death from cardiovascular diseases after acute coronary syndrome and impairment cerebral circulation. A factor provoking pulmonary embolism in the majority of cases is thrombosis of deep veins of lower limbs. Presented in the article is a clinical case report concerning treatment of a 35-year-old female patient with acute bilateral phlebothrombosis of internal iliac veins with floatation of thrombotic heads in the inferior vena cava and common iliac vein on the left. By means of a hybrid technique, we successfully performed operative intervention: thrombectomy from the inferior vena cava and common iliac veins on both sides with the use of proximal protection TREX (thromboextractor). Control X-ray contrast tomography and ultrasound examination of lower limb veins showed no evidence of rethrombosis. After surgical treatment, the woman received anticoagulant therapy. On POD 5, she was discharged home in a satisfactory condition.

Abstract
We describe herein a case of surgical treatment of a 32-year-old female patient presenting with multilevel post-thrombotic occlusion of deep veins of the left lower limb. Laboratory study revealed high-risk hereditary thrombophilia (homozygous mutation of PAI-1, MTR, heterozygous mutation of MTHFR, MTRR, ITGA2). The first stage included endovenectomy from the common femoral vein with creation of an arteriovenous fistula between femoral vessels. An attempt of endovascular stenting of iliac veins was initially unsuccessful. After 3 months, the woman was rehospitalized to undergo successful endovascular operation with stenting of the iliac veins and common femoral artery on the background of the functioning arteriovenous fistula. The clinical outcome of the operation was good. Follow-up ultrasonographic examinations (ultrasound duplex scanning) were performed at 3, 6, 10 and 13 months after the second operation. The findings of ultrasound duplex scanning at 13 months showed that the stented segments of deep veins were freely patent, with the arteriovenous fistula functioning well. There were no signs of impairments of central haemodynamics, with significant regression of clinical symptoms. The total score by the Villalta scale as compared with the baseline values decreased from 13 to 5. Given the pattern of deep vein lesions, complexity of open and endovascular operations, and the presence of thrombophilia, we decided to abstain from disuniting the arteriovenous fistula. This case report demonstrates possibility, efficacy and safety of long functioning of an artificial arteriovenous fistula in a particular patient cohort.

Abstract
Sizing of iliac vein stents remains controversial. We present the first Venovo venous stent (BD/Bard) that was explanted because of worsening of back and leg pain post treatment and analyze data from the first 50 consecutive Venovo venous stents from our center. Stent size was obtained with intravascular ultrasound of the ipsilateral common iliac vein. The data indicate that there is no statistical relationship between the stent size and worsening or emergence of low back and leg pain. Patient-specific factors may be contributing to this extremely rare and persistent pain beyond the 30-day follow-up.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION This paper presents our experience with deep venous stenting in a multi-ethnic Asian cohort of patients with symptomatic Non-Thrombotic Iliac Vein Lesions (NIVL) and Post-Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS). MATERIALS AND METHODS This was a multicentre retrospective cohort study of patients who had symptomatic deep venous disease. Stent patency rate was evaluated using Duplex ultrasonography immediately post-intervention and at 3, 6 and 12 months. Clinical outcomes were evaluated using the revised Venous Clinical Severity Score (rVCSS) and Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) pain score at baseline and 3 months post-procedure. RESULTS 87 patients (males = 47/87 (54.0%)); median age = 62 years (IQR 55 - 70)) and 115 limbs were analysed (left = 76/115 (66.1%)). Median follow-up time was 175 (IQR 57 - 257) days. 97/115 (84.3%) had NIVLs and 55/115 (47.8%) had May-Thurner-Syndrome. 43/115 (37.4%) had Clinical, Etiology, Anatomy and Pathophysiology (CEAP) 6 disease. Primary stent patency rates were 98.2% (112/114), 97.9% (93/95), 95.7% (89/93) and 92.8% (64/69) immediately post-intervention, 3, 6 and 12 months, respectively. The 6-month secondary patency rate was 99.1% (114/115). Mean rVCSS and VAS improved from 11.52 (±3.54) to 5.77 (±2.36) (P < 0.01) and 6.62 (±1.93) to 2.92 (±1.50) (P < 0.01) respectively, at 3 months. 41/43 (95.3%) venous ulcers healed over a median time of 169 days (IQR 120 - 253). CONCLUSIONS Short term primary patency rates following deep venous stenting are excellent, with few re-interventions. Patients presented with NIVLs rather than PTS. There was excellent clinical improvement at 3 months, with a high and expedient venous ulcer healing rate.

Abstract
Intravascular leiomyomatosis (IVL) is a variant of leiomyoma characterized by intravascular proliferation of a histologically benign smooth muscle tumor extending beyond the uterus into distant great vessels or the heart. It is a rare disease and results in death. Here, we reported the case of 48-year-old, otherwise well woman, who presented to the emergency department with syncope. Pulmonary computed tomography (CT) demonstrated a large low-density shadow originating from the inferior vena cava (IVC) extending into the right atrium (RA). Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed that a neoplasm was "snakelike," which completely occluded the right internal iliac vein (RIIV), the common iliac vein (CIV), and IVC. A multidisciplinary team of specialists consisting of vascular surgeons, cardiac surgeons, gynecologists, anesthesiologists, and radiologists reviewed the history, clinical examination findings, and diagnostic imaging of the patient. A decision was made to proceed with one-stage surgery (resection of thoracoabdominal tumor extension at one operative setting). After surgery, the patient's vital signs were restored, and her symptoms were disappeared. She was discharged on hospital day 21 without complications. One-stage surgical approach to completely remove an IVL with RA involvement is an optimal choice if the patient's physical condition permits.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute thrombosis in the system of the inferior vena cava is one of the most common vascular diseases and is of serious danger as a potential source of one of the most severe complications. In order to assess efficacy of open thrombectomy for embologenic iliofemoral venous thromboses we carried out comparison of the results of open thrombectomy and implantation of cava filters in a total of 119 patients presenting with iliofemoral thrombosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Open thrombectomy was performed in a total of 59 patients. Of these, 12 patients with segmental thromboses underwent radical thrombectomy and 47 patients with disseminated forms of thrombosis were subjected to partial thrombectomy with plication of the femoral vein. In 5 patients, the operation was supplemented with applying an arteriovenous fistula. Efficacy of operations was assessed with the help of ultrasonographic duplex angioscanning and regression of clinical manifestations. In the remote period, the degree of manifestations of post-thrombotic disease was assessed by means of the Villalta scale. RESULTS After radical thrombectomy, patency of the iliofemoral segment was preserved in all patients during the whole follow-up period. In the group of patients with partial thrombectomy, 5 (9.5%) patients developed rethrombosis above the placation site at terms from 8 to 12 months. Four-year patency of the iliofemoral segment in this group of patients amounted to 81.5%. In patients with implanted cava filters, neither femoral vein nor iliac segment were patent completely. During the first year, thrombosis of cava filter developed in 9 cases; after 2 years, occlusion of the cava filter was diagnosed in 7 patients. In clinical assessment of the remote results with the use of the Villalta scale in patients after open thrombectomy the symptoms of post-traumatic disease were absent or weakly pronounced. After implantation of the cava filter all patients demonstrated the clinical course of post-traumatic disease, corresponding to 10-15 points. CONCLUSION Open thrombectomy for iliofemoral embologenic thromboses performed at specialized departments is a radical method of preventing thromboembolic complications and promotes restoration or improvement of venous blood flow in the extremity.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To compare the efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy with transcatheter thrombolysis in the treatment of acute iliac femoral venous thrombosis. METHODS The clinical data of 170 patients with acute iliac venous thrombosis treated in Ningbo No.2 Hospital from September 2015 to September 2017 were retrospectively reviewed. Among them, 94 cases were treated with AngioJet mechanical thrombolysis or additional thrombolysis for residual thrombus (PMT group) and 76 cases were treated with catheter-directed thrombolysis(CDT group). After thrombolytic treatment if there was stenosis of iliac vein, the transluminal angioplasty was also performed. The clearance of thrombus and safety were evaluated and compared between two groups. RESULTS In PMT group there were 86 cases (91.5%) with grade Ⅲ, 5 cases (5.3%) with grade Ⅱ, 3 cases (3.2%) with grade Ⅰ clearance of thrombus; while in CDT group, there were 63 cases (82.9%) with grade Ⅲ, 7 cases (9.2%) with grade Ⅱ and 6 cases (7.9%) with grade Ⅰ clearance of thrombus (P>0.05). The differences of diameter of two lower extremities 15 cm above knee after treatment in PMT and CDT groups were (2.3±0.9) cm and (2.5±1.1) cm, respectively (P>0.05). The time of thrombolysis in group PMT was significantly shorter than that in group CDT[(2.6±1.2) d vs. (5.3±1.5) d, P<0.05]. The dosage of urokinase in PMT group was significantly lower than that in CDT group[(15.0±5.0)×105 U vs. (26.5±7.5)×105 U, P<0.05]. Hemoglobin decrease was observed in both groups, which was more significant in PMT group (P<0.01). During the following period, there was no significant difference in the incidence of recurrence and post-thrombosis syndrome in two groups (all P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS Both PMT and CDT have good thrombus clearance effect in the treatment of acute iliac femoral venous thrombosis, however, PMT has the advantages of short thrombolytic time and less urokinase.

Abstract
BACKGROUND We report on intraprocedural and up to 1-year outcomes on the safety of the Atlas Gold balloon (Bard) in iliofemoral venous interventions. METHODS All patients who underwent iliofemoral vein compression treatment in our laboratory from September 1, 2013 to May 30, 2017 were identified and medical records were reviewed. The primary safety endpoint was the intraprocedural freedom from major device-related serious adverse events (≥95%) for the Atlas Gold balloon in iliofemoral venous treatment. RESULTS Seventy-seven patients with iliac vein compression underwent intervention. Predilation was performed in 20 patients with the Atlas Gold balloon (mean diameter, 12.1 mm). The mean pressure was 5.2 atm (range, 3.0-14.0 atm). Post-stent dilation was performed in 61 patients treated with the Atlas Gold balloon (mean diameter: 17.0 mm; range: 12 to 22 mm), with a mean pressure of 6.8 atm (range, 2.0-20.0 atm). There was no stent thrombosis, target-lesion revascularization (TLR), or target-vessel revascularization (TVR) at 1 month. Symptom improvement was reported in 89% of patients. There were 58 patients assessed for patency in the total cohort at 262.7 days, of which 48 patients were postdilated with the Atlas Gold balloon. All stents were patent at 1 year, and there was no stent thrombosis, TLR, or TVR in the cohort treated with the Atlas Gold balloon. Symptom improvement continued at 1 year (37/45 Atlas Gold cohort). CONCLUSION All patients postdilated with the Atlas Gold balloon exceeded the 95% safety benchmark set in this study. No balloon perforation, vessel laceration, or balloon-related intravascular events occurred.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic, post-thrombotic iliofemoral and inferior vena caval obstruction is associated with debilitating morbidity. Venoplasty and stenting are often successful; however, in the presence of a diseased or occluded common femoral vein (CFV), failure is common. A hybrid operative procedure of open surgical CFV endovenectomy and endoluminal recanalization or bypass of the obstructed iliofemoral and vena caval segments has been developed and modified. The purpose of this report was to assess the technical evolution of this procedure on operative complications. METHODS Thirty-one patients undergoing CFV endovenectomy and proximal ipsilateral endoluminal reconstruction (iliac, inferior vena caval) or contralateral outflow were analyzed. The initial techniques of patient management were compared with the present contemporary techniques, evaluating procedural complications and failures. The contemporary procedure evolved to include routine axial imaging, preoperative venography through the popliteal vein, preoperative passage of a guidewire or catheter into the patent vena cava, placement of an ipsilateral popliteal vein sheath for intraoperative and postoperative anticoagulation, routine patch closure, routine arteriovenous fistulas, routine completion intravascular ultrasound, and long-term anticoagulation with warfarin to a target international normalized ratio of 3.0 to 4.0. Procedure-related complications were compared between the initial and contemporary techniques. RESULTS Of 17 patients treated with the early techniques, 15 (88%) had major complications: 5 iliofemoral thromboses, 4 major wound bleeds, 4 wound infections, and 2 CFV stenoses requiring reintervention. One iliac vein rupture treated with a stent graft thrombosed. Of 14 patients treated with the contemporary techniques, 2 (14%; P = .006) had major complications: 1 bleed and 1 infected seroma. One intraoperative iliac vein rupture, treated with a second stent relining the first, remains patent. CONCLUSIONS Contemporary hybrid operative techniques for incapacitating post-thrombotic iliofemoral and vena caval obstruction increase procedural success and reduce complications compared with the initial approach. The contemporary techniques are recommended for patients undergoing hybrid operative management of post-thrombotic iliofemoral and vena caval occlusion involving the CFV.
