Minimally invasive treatment of chronic iliofemoral venous occlusive disease.

Background: As one of the primary etiologies of the post-thrombotic syndrome, chronic venous occlusion is a huge burden on patient quality of life and medical costs. In this study, we evaluate the short-term and midterm results of endovenous recanalization by angioplasty and stenting in chronic iliofemoral deep venous occlusions.

Methods: This is a retrospective observational study set in a tertiary medical referral center.
