Objective: To summarize the clinical results of thrombectomy with stenting (TBS) in patients with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) secondary to May-Thurner syndrome (MTS) compared with the outcomes in patients treated with thrombectomy alone (TB).
Methods: A retrospective observation of patients with proximal DVT secondary to MTS was conducted in our institution. Patients accepted treatment including either catheter-directed TBS or TB. The complications and stent patency rates were recorded after treatments. The clinical results were assessed in both groups. The independent predictors for in-stent restenosis were further calculated in this study.
Results: We included 372 patients with DVT secondary to MTS. Two hundred twenty-one patients received treatment with thrombectomy with TBS and 151 with TB. A longer mean procedure time (65.1 ± 13.9 minutes vs 49.5 ± 15.7 minutes; P < .001) and higher venous perforation rate (23 patients vs 5 patients; P = .011) were observed in the TBS group than in the TB group. The median follow-up time was 34 months. The patency rates in the TBS group at 36 months were as follows: primary patency rate of 74.0% and secondary patency rate of 92.1%. Independent predictors for restenosis included visible remaining collateral vessels (hazard ratio [HR], 1.12-3.29; P = .02), residual thrombus (HR, 1.40-4.38; P = .002), and tapered iliac vein (HR, 1.26-4.06; P = .006). Clinical results, including Venous Clinical Severity Scores (TBS, 8.0 ± 3.0; TB, 11.4 ± 3.2), Chronic Venous Insufficiency Questionnaire score (TBS, 76.4 ± 4.0; TB, 83.1 ± 4.6), Villalta scores (TBS, 3.8 ± 1.7; TB, 6.6 ± 3.2), and edema scores (TBS, 0.7 ± 0.7; TB, 1.6 ± 0.6), improved significantly in the TBS group.
Conclusions: TBS is effective and feasible for patients with proximal DVT secondary to MTS. Furthermore, compared with TB, additional stenting might be effective in improving the venous clinical results at follow-up observations.

Objective The impact of type 1 DM (T1DM) on thromboembolism in pregnancy is uncertain. We hypothesized that T1DM is associated with higher rates of thrombotic events during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Study Design This is a retrospective cohort study utilizing the National Inpatient Sample database from HCUP/AHRQ for 2017-2019.

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of early mobilization program with nonweight-bearing braces in improving functional outcomes and clinical indicators after diabetic foot ulcer surgery.
Methods: We conducted a randomized trial involving patients with diabetic foot ulcers (DFUs) who underwent surgery at a tertiary university hospital. Participants were randomized to receive either early mobilization with nonweight-bearing braces or standard rehabilitation care.

Managing acute venous thromboembolism (VTE) in patients with thrombocytopenia is challenging. We used data from the RIETE registry to investigate the impact of baseline thrombocytopenia on early VTE-related outcomes, depending on the initial presentation as pulmonary embolism (PE) or isolated lower-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT). From March 2003 to November 2022, 90 418 patients with VTE were included.

Inferior vena cava (IVC) anomalies are rare congenital pathologies related to variations of agenesis, hypoplasia, or atresia, predisposing patients to thromboembolic events secondary to an alteration in venous drainage with resultant stasis. This is a case report of a 27-year-old male without significant medical history presenting for a fall after playing recreational basketball with associated pain and swelling in his left lower extremity. After his symptoms progressively worsened, he came to the emergency room for an evaluation where an ultrasound (US) of the extremity showed extensive deep vein thromboses (DVT).

Purpose: Report 2-year outcomes from a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm study designed to further assess the safety and effectiveness of the Celect and the Günther Tulip Vena Cava Filters.
Materials And Methods: The BLIND study enrolled patients requiring temporary or permanent IVC filter placement for the prevention of pulmonary embolism (PE). The primary effectiveness endpoint was the rate of technical placement success and 12-month freedom from new symptomatic PE while a filter was indwelling.
