Iliac vein stenting showed good primary patency rate with few complications. Iliac vein stenting is a durable option for residual stenosis after catheter-directed thrombolysis treatment of acute deep vein thrombosis in May-Thurner syndrome.

RAAA remains a highly lethal problem. The improved early outcomes of surgeons with high-volume AAA have strong implications for training, emergency staffing needs and alternative treatment strategies.

Direct open repair for RDTAA can be achieved with acceptable mortality and morbidity rates even in elderly patients. Improved outcome can be expected with increased volume and experience. This series should help establish a reference against which the results of endovascular endeavors and hybrid procedures could be compared.

Lower extremity deep vein thrombosis is a serious medical condition that can result in death or major disability due to pulmonary embolism or post-thrombotic syndrome. Appropriate diagnosis and treatment are required to improve symptoms and salvage the affected limb. Early thrombus clearance rapidly resolves symptoms related to venous obstruction, restores valve function and reduces the incidence of post-thrombotic syndrome. Recently, endovascular treatment has been established as a standard method for early thrombus removal. However, there are a variety of views regarding the indications and procedures among medical institutions and operators. Therefore, we intend to provide evidence-based guidelines for diagnosis and treatment of lower extremity deep vein thrombosis by multidisciplinary consensus. These guidelines are the result of a close collaboration between interventional radiologists and vascular surgeons. The goals of these guidelines are to improve treatment, to serve as a guide to the clinician, and consequently to contribute to public health care.
