Lower-extremity venous stenting

There three major type of outflow obstruction: post-thrombotic non-occlusive obstruction; post-thrombotic occlusive; and non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions. Post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) occur as a complication of acute deep vein thrombosis manifesting in leg pain that limits activity, edema, and leg ulcers. PTS will develop in 20-50% of patients and severe PTS, including venous ulcers in up to 10% of patients. In selected patients with severe PTS endovascular treatment of chronic femoroiliocaval venous disease can be safely performed with acceptable patency result and symptoms alleviation For May-Thurnes syndrome, endovascular treatment is highly successful, leading to significant clinical improvement: 50% of patients has symptoms resolution, 33% experience symptoms relieve and 55% has complete healing of venous ulcers. No bed rest needed poststenting. Patient expected to have severe back discomfort for up to one week postprocedurally.
