Background: The overall goal of this report is to provide a high-level, practical approach to managing venous outflow obstruction (VOO).
Methods: A group of vascular surgeons from Australia and New Zealand with specific interest, training, and experience in the management of VOO were surveyed to assess current local practices. The results were analyzed and areas of disagreement identified.
Article Synopsis
- The GREAT registry is a global study that tracks and collects data on the long-term performance of W. L. Gore endografts used for thoracic aortic repairs in over 5000 patients from 2010 to 2016.
- The analysis focused on 578 patients with various thoracic aortic conditions, revealing a high survival rate of 99.7% post-procedure and survival rates of 66.4% for all-cause mortality and 94.6% for aortic-related mortality within 5 years.
- Key findings included low rates of aortic rupture (1.4%), stroke (3.6%), and a 12.4% reintervention rate over 5 years, indicating that the

Results from the First-in-Human Study of the Caterpillar™ Arterial Embolization System.
Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol
January 2023
Purpose: To assess occlusion success and adverse events associated with the use of a self-expanding device for peripheral artery embolization.
Methods: This prospective, single-arm, feasibility study was conducted using the Caterpillar™ Arterial Embolization Device composed of opposing nitinol fibers and a flow-occluding membrane. Twenty patients (24 embolization sites) were treated at four investigational centers in New Zealand and Australia and followed for 30 days.
Medium Term Outcomes of Deep Venous Stenting in the Management of Venous Thoracic Outlet Syndrome.
Eur J Vasc Endovasc Surg
December 2022
Objective: Venous thoracic outlet syndrome (vTOS) is a relatively rare condition associated with significant morbidity. Its management continues to evolve, with increasing use of endovascular adjuncts, such as percutaneous thrombectomy and angioplasty, in addition to first rib resection. The utility of stenting residual venous stenotic lesions is poorly defined within the literature.
