Recanalization of an Occluded Vena Cava Filter and Iliac Veins with Kissing Stents to Treat Postthrombotic Syndrome with a Venous Stasis Ulcer

Abstract: Inferior vena cava filters (IVCFs) are effective in preventing pulmonary embolism and their usage has rapidly increased over the past decades. However, complications have also significantly increased, as IVCF occlusion causes serious chronic venous insufficiency. Herein, we report a case of infrarenal IVCF occlusion that was successfully treated with the introduction of kissing stents through the IVCF into both iliac veins. A 54-year-old male presented with non-healing ulcers on his left leg. He had undergone … Show more

“…63 The management of patients with deferred retrieval due to residual thrombus includes continued anticoagulation with close monitoring for adherence and reservation of endovascular therapies for refractory cases. [64][65][66] The standard snare technique is the primary retrieval strategy for IVC filters. Advanced techniques such as laser sheath-assisted ablation and endobronchial forceps should only be reserved in select cases, by expert proceduralists.…”
