iliocaval

They found that patency is not influenced by the extension of the stents across the filter segment, but is rather related to the severity of post-thrombotic disease.[ 11 ] A comparison was also performed between the limbs stented for recanalized occlusions with and without IVC filters, which showed no significant difference in cumulative primary and secondary patency rates indicating that the presence of filters did not affect the outcome.[ 11 ] Venous thrombectomy with temporary groin AVFs to augment the inflow into the iliocaval segments has been previously described as an effective treatment for iliofemoral venous thrombosis and it reduces the risk of future venous insufficiency and post-thrombotic syndrome.[ 18 19 ] The data from our study suggest that AVFs did not improve the likelihood of clinical success.
