Abstract

Abstract.Background: We sought to determine the patency and clinical symptom relief following the usage of the sinus-Obliquus venous stent in the endovascular treatment of venous obstruction of the ilio-femoral track in short-term. Patients and methods: 48 patients (62 % female, mean age 57 years) with chronic unilateral post-thrombotic obstruction (PTO) and non-thrombotic iliac vein obstructive lesions (NIVL) without involvement of inferior vena cava receiving a sinus-Obliquus venous stent was included in the analysis. Clinical improvement determined by the revised venous clinical severity score (rVCSS) as well as the clinical, etiologic, anatomic and pathophysiologic score (CEAP), safety, and stent patency rates were determined at baseline and at 1, 6 and 12 months after stent placement. Ten of the 48 included patients had a venous ulceration. Results: Primary patency rates were 98 % at FU1, 94 % at FU2 and 94 % at FU3, respectively. Secondary patency was 100 % at FU1, 96 % at FU2 and remained 96 % at FU3. At 12 months, the mean rVCSS dropped from 9.0 to 4.8 points (p < 0.001) whereas the mean CEAP improved from 3.45 to 2.96 (p < 0.001). A substantial healing of ulcerations was observed in 8 of 10 patients with initial venous ulceration. There were no relevant safety concerns noticed. Conclusions: Even though long-term studies are missing, the sinus-Obliquus venous stent already showed very promising patency rates at short term, associated with substantial clinical improvement and low device-related complications in both NIVL and PTS.
