Chronic occlusion mimicking agenesis of the inferior vena cava in patients with iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis.

Agenesis of the inferior vena cava (IVC) has been described as a risk factor for proximal deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We have described the cases of two patients with iliofemoral DVT who had developed post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS). Both cases were misdiagnosed as IVC agenesis on routine imaging; however, an IVC lumen was successfully identified and recanalized during venography with significant improvement in the patients' PTS symptoms.

Multicentre Covariate Adjustment Analysis of Short-Term and 5-Year Outcomes after Endovascular Repair according to Sex.

Background: Several studies have reported worse outcomes in women compared to men after endovascular aneurysm repair (EVAR). This study aimed to evaluate sex-specific short-term and 5-year outcomes after EVAR.

Methods: A total of 409 consecutive patients underwent elective EVAR from 2004 to 2017 at two tertiary hospitals in Western Australia.
