Role of three-dimensional rotational venography in evaluation of the left iliac vein in patients with chronic lower limb edema.

The aim of this study was to assess the role of three-dimensional rotational venography (3D RV) supplementary to two-dimensional (2D) digital subtraction venography (DSV) in evaluation of the left iliac vein in patients with chronic lower limb edema. We reviewed 34 patients with chronic lower limb edema who had undergone bilateral iliac 2D DSV and 3D RV of the left common iliac vein and had surgery in our institution. The presence, anatomical location, and size of the venous narrowing were assessed.
