Abstract
Background and Objectives Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) is a common vascular condition that affects 1 to 3 per 1,000 people annually. Proximal thrombosis (including iliac veins) poses a higher risk for postthrombotic syndrome (PTS). Therefore, the present study investigated the outcomes of venoplasty with stent placement in patients with chronic venous symptoms following DVT in the iliofemoral segment. Subjects and Methods This cross-sectional study included patients with an age range of 20 to 70 years who presented with chronic symptoms of iliofemoral obstructive venous lesion following DVT. They received local anesthesia with lidocaine, and if necessary, by venous sedation under lower extremity venography using catheter with popliteal vein surgery on the same side and placement of a sheet. Pre-intervention and six-month post-intervention data on relevant variables were collected, documented, and subjected to analysis. Results Of the 24 patients participating in the study, 70.8% were male and 29.2% were female with a mean age of 51.42 ± 8.27 years. There was a significant difference in pain and wound condition before and 6 months after the intervention (P <0.001). After the intervention, 58.3% of the patients were in painless condition, and the frequency of patients without wounds increased from 12.5% to 66.7%. Edema changes were not significant (P = 0.29) Conclusion Stent placement for patients experiencing chronic venous symptoms secondary to iliofemoral DVT demonstrates efficacy in pain reduction and wound healing, establishing itself as a practical and user-friendly treatment approach.
