Analysis of computed tomography venography for the diagnosis and endovascular treatment of iliac venous compression syndrome with venous leg ulcers: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT: Iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) is a clinical condition defined as obstruction of the iliac vein caused by chronic compression imposed by various causes. Currently, the clinical role of computed tomography venography (CTV) in the diagnosis of IVCS is unclear. Accurately diagnosing IVCS using CTV may enhance the understanding of the pathological anatomy of iliac veins, which may lead to better treatment outcomes, especially for recalcitrant venous leg ulcers (VLU). We aimed to investigate diagnostic criteria, contributing clinical factors, and stenting for IVCS with VLU in this study. CTV, digital subtraction angiography (DSV), and Doppler ultrasound (DUS) data were obtained from the medical and imaging records of 62 patients. Additionally, contributing factors and stenting for IVCS
