Positional variation in hemodynamic and morphologic parameters of the iliofemoral venous segment in healthy volunteers.
Iliofemoral venous stenting has become the standard of care for patients with quality-of-life-impairing manifestations of chronic iliac venous obstruction. The initial diagnosis of chronic iliac venous obstruction is through the use of duplex ultrasound (DUS). Here, set diameters are used for each s…
Ultrasound-based multimodal diagnosis and endovascular therapy for phlegmasia cerulea dolens secondary to May-Thurner syndrome in a middle-aged male patient: A case report.
This study explores the value of ultrasound in the diagnosis of patients with phlegmasia cerulea dolens (PCD). The enrolled patient suffered from PCD secondary to iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS) and complicated by extensive lower-limb deep vein thrombosis (DVT). We analyzed an atypical case i…
Clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and therapeutic advances in May-Thurner Syndrome: A comprehensive literature review.
May-Thurner Syndrome (MTS), or iliac vein compression syndrome, is an underdiagnosed vascular condition where the left common iliac vein is compressed, typically by the right common iliac artery. This impairs venous outflow from the left lower extremity, leading to manifestations ranging from chroni…
A 36-year-old man with May-Thurner syndrome and a family history of cardiac disease underwent a screening echocardiogram, which revealed a mass in the right ventricle. Upon further imaging, the mass was determined to be an iliac stent migration. Our patient presented with a migrated iliac stent 2 ye…
Architecture-based interpretation of contemporary dedicated venous stent outcomes: An IDE trial evidence synthesis.
ObjectiveContemporary dedicated venous stent systems differ substantially in structural architecture and inferred mechanical behavior, yet whether this architectural variation translates into differences in clinical outcome remains incompletely understood, because available evidence is derived predo…
Endovascular Iliac Vein Revascularization Versus Conservative Management for Chronic, Symptomatic Iliac Vein Obstruction: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
To synthesize the existing evidence comparing endovascular iliac vein revascularization versus conservative management for chronic, symptomatic venous obstruction. We searched PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Cochrane CENTRAL, and ClinicalTrials.gov for comparator-controlled studies of endovascular iliac vei…
Pontine Infarction Presenting With Right Internuclear Ophthalmoplegia in a Patient With Patent Foramen Ovale and May-Thurner Syndrome: A Case Report.
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a common congenital cardiac anomaly associated with cryptogenic ischemic stroke in adults. The likelihood of PFO-associated stroke is increased in the presence of high-risk anatomical features such as substantial right-to-left shunting or an associated atrial septal ane…
Wallstent Deployment Challenges and Complications in Endovenous Management of Non-thrombotic May-Thurner Syndrome.
To evaluate Wallstent deployment challenges and complications during endovenous management of non-thrombotic May-Thurner syndrome (NT-MTS) and to define their underlying mechanisms and optimal management strategies. This prospective single-center cohort study included 38 patients with NT-MTS treated…
