Wallstents and nitenol stents are used “off-label,” e.g.,
the use for iliac venous stenting is not described on the
product’s label.

Chronic venous disease - Obstruction or reflux?
CVI (C3-C6) – think obstruction
The femoro-ilio-caval vein is the final pathway for
the lower extremity venous outflow
• Venous outflow obstruction plays an important role in clinical expression of CVD, particularly pain.
• Ulcerated limbs have a high rate of obstruction (~40%).
• In limbs with obstruction, ulcers occur rarely with isolated obstruction (4%), more often in association with reflux (30%).
• Treatment results in impressive clinical relief of pain, swelling, VCSS, VDS and QoL, even when associated reflux is left untreated.
• Treatment results in healing of ulcers, despite untreated reflux, in 58-65% of the patients.
Why think ilio-femoral obstruction?

Postthrombotic iliac veins
Non-thrombotic Iliac Vein Lesion (NIVL)
• May-Thurner or Cockett’s Syndrome –• Iliac vein compression
• Intraluminal lesions, e.g., webs, spurs, chords
• Non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions
• Left/right = 3/1
• Female/male = 4/1
• Median age 54 years (range: 18-90)
• Proximal and distal lesion
• Clinical impact without previous DVT.Raju & Neglén J Vasc Surg 2006;44:136-44
Non-thrombotic Iliac Vein Lesion
The impact of iliac vein compression on
acute DVT and postthrombotic obstruction
• Often underlying compression-type lesions found (left 84%, right 66%)
• Poor recanalization with external compression of the iliac vein (70-80% remains obstructed)
• Stenting of the stenosis after clot removal improves patency from 27-44% to 86-93%

Deleterious effects by residual postthrombotic
ilio-femoral (IF) vein obstruction
• Recurrence rate of IF DVT x 2.4 higher than limited to FV
• 100% contralateral DVT with conservative tx of unilateral ilio-caval thrombus (if removed 7%)
• Proximal obstruction may lead to distal valve incompetence
• More severe symptoms than femoro-popliteal disease after conservative treatment, poor collateralization
– 90% venous hypertension, ulcer in 15% within 5 years, decreased quality of life
– Venous claudication in 15-44%, with IF stenting symptoms were eliminated

• Ilio-femoral venous outflow obstruction plays an important role in clinical expression of CVD, particularly pain.
– Pain – complete relief 65% (improved 74%) @ 5 y
– Swelling – complete relief 32% (improved 62%) @ 5 y
– The impressive clinical relief of pain and swelling even when associated reflux is left untreated.
• Stent placement results in sustained healing of ulcers despite untreated reflux (~60% @ 5y)

Stenting of the iliac venous outflow
– Is a safe procedure with low morbidity
and no mortality
– Is durable long-term
– Substantially relieves symptoms
Practical Implications for Management of
Chronic venous Disease
• CVD – think obstruction!
• Non-thrombotic iliac vein lesion (NIVL) is a frequent finding.
• Complement ultrasound scanning of the lower extremity with transfemoral venography, MRV, CT-V or IVUS
• Venous stenting - primary choice in the treatment of ilio-caval obstruction
• Venous stenting is the initial procedure when an iliofemoral venous obstruction is present whether or not it is associated with reflux
