Purpose: To identify the risk of deep femoral vein (DFV) and/or femoral vein (FV) inflow disease on venous stent patency loss in postthrombotic syndrome (PTS).
Materials And Methods: This single-center retrospective study included limbs with iliofemoral and iliocaval stents for PTS. Single-vessel and double-vessel inflow disease were defined on the basis of imaging of possible postthrombotic changes in the DFV/FV.
Article Synopsis
- Isolated ambulatory phlebectomy is a treatment option for patients with incompetent great saphenous veins (GSV) and tributaries, and identifying which patients may benefit is crucial.
- The study utilized data from the SAPTAP trial to develop a multivariable model predicting the likelihood of avoiding secondary axial ablation after the procedure, testing various patient characteristics as predictors.
- The final model identified three key predictors: tributary length, presence of saphenofemoral junction reflux, and trunk diameter, showing moderate effectiveness in predicting outcomes to inform patient treatment planning.
Objective: To evaluate patient reported outcome measures after early clot removal for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), using the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36).
Methods: Cross sectional design. Patients who underwent early clot removal between June 2012 and November 2021 were asked to complete the two questionnaires once.
Objective: Patients with PTS experience an impaired quality of life (QoL). We aimed to study QoL in patients stented for post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and analyze the influence of different parameters.
Methods: Patients stented for PTS after iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis were asked to complete the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) in this cross-sectional study.
Exercise Intolerance That Resolved After venous Stenting of the Inferior Vena Cava.

Venous stenting could alleviate exercise intolerance associated with chronic inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction. We describe a 36-year-old male patient with an unknown IVC-obstruction. The obstruction was discovered after a bi-iliac deep vein thrombosis (DVT).
