Surgical inpatients are at increased risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE).

- This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated stenting outcomes for patients with stenosis in veins like the superior vena cava, finding that initial patency rates were high.
- Of 39 studies involving 1,539 patients, primary patency was 81.5% at one year, but decreased to 63.2% at 12-24 months, with secondary patency rates showing better outcomes after further interventions.
- The analysis highlighted that patients with malignant stenosis had better primary patency compared to those with benign stenosis, though overall evidence quality was very low, indicating a need for more research.
