Early thrombosis after iliac stenting for venous outflow occlusion is related to disease severity and type of anticoagulation.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Stenting of the iliac venous system is often performed for symptomatic obstruction, with high patency rates reported. However, patients with post-thrombotic disease and those with more extensive obstruction have experienced poorer outcomes, including a higher rate of early post-stent thrombosis. In the present study, we examined the outcomes of patients with complete venous outflow occlusion. We focused on the variables associated with early post-stenting thrombosis to identify opportunities to reduce its incidence.

Methods

From 2010 to 2020, the patients who had undergone stenting for chronic obstruction of the common femoral vein, iliac veins, and/or inferior vena cava were retrospectively reviewed. The pre- and intraoperative imaging studies were examined to id
