Iliac Vein Stenting Outcomes for Patients with Superficial Venous Insufficiency Concurrent with Deep Venous Disease

Abstract

Superficial venous insufficiency (SVI) and chronic proximal venous outflow obstruction (PVOO) can occur in the same patient before, during, or after iliac vein stenting, whereas some patients with PVOO never develop SVI. The clinical course of these different patients remains unclear. We undertook this study to determine how SVI would influence the outcomes after vein stenting for chronic PVOO.
