Timing of outpatient stenting is associated with stent size in nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Stent placement is commonly used to treat nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVLs). On the day of surgery, patients typically fast after midnight and may often present with volume deficits and various degrees of dehydration. This study aims to determine if the time of day stenting is performed predicts the size of the iliac vein stent used to treat NIVLs.

Methods

A retrospective study of patients who underwent outpatient stenting and first-time treatment for NIVLs at a single institution from January 2013 to March 2022 was performed. The exposure variable was the time of day the outpatient stenting was performed, serving as a proxy for fasting duration. Stent timing was dichotomized into an early cohort (procedures before 11 am) and a late cohort (procedures after
