Venous stenting across the inguinal ligament

Abstract: Contrary to arterial stenting, braided stainless stents can be safely placed in the venous system across the inguinal crease with no risk of stent fractures, narrowing due to external compression, focal development of severe in-stent restenosis, and no effect on long-term patency. The patency rate is not related to the length of stented area or the placement of the stent across the inguinal ligament, but is dependent upon the etiology and whether the treated postthrombotic obstruction is occlusive or non-occlu… Show more

“…Another large study (n=493) found that in patients with PTS, stent patency was good (84%), even when stents needed to be extended into the common femoral vein to treat venous inflow obstruction. 52 A number of additional studies comprising more than 200 patients have found concordant results, with about 80% of treated patients with moderate or severe PTS achieving major reduction in their dominant PTS symptom (pain or swelling) with stent recanalization of the iliac vein. [53][54][55][56][57][58] These studies have demonstrated marked improvements in the clinical severity of chronic venous insufficiency on validated outcome measures (CEAP Classification, Venous Disability Scale, Venous Clinical Severity Score, Villalta PTS Scale, VEINES-QOL/Sym venous disease-specific QOL measure) 46,47,50 ; reductions in lower-extremity pain and swelling 45,46,48 ; healing of venous ulcers 45,49 ; 1-3-year primary patencies ranging from 67% to 83% 46,48 ; and 1-3-year secondary patencies ranging from 90% to 100%.…”

“…Stenting across the inguinal ligament must be performed in these cases and can be done with good results ( Figure 1). 6 Given the relatively low radial strength of the Wallstent, a Gianturco Z stent (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Indiana) is used to provide additional strength across the confluence with an extension of the Gianturco stent beyond the Wallstent proximally into the IVC. The Gianturco Z stent should be oversized relative to the Wallstent with an overlap of the lower half of the Z stent within the Wallstent to prevent stent embolization.…”

“…5). Da auch hier der Grundsatz gilt, dass der Stent sowohl proximal als auch distal im gesunden Venensegment enden soll, ist eine Stent-PTA bis in die endophlebektomierte VFC erforderlich, d. h. der Stent endet -im Gegensatz zu den Empfehlungen bei der arteriellen Stent-PTA -unterhalb des Leistenbands [24,26].…”
