Summary

Surgical management of ilio-femoral deep venous thrombosis (DVT) shows varied outcomes. Stenting residual iliac vein blockages improved long-term results, suggesting endovascular techniques enhance DVT treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Vascular Surgery
  • Interventional Cardiology
  • Thrombosis Management

Background:

  • Deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in the ilio-femoral region poses significant challenges.
  • Effective management strategies are crucial to prevent chronic venous insufficiency.
  • Surgical and endovascular interventions are considered for complex DVT cases.

Observation:

  • Three patients with extended ilio-femoral DVT underwent surgical management.
  • Patient 1: Conservative treatment of residual common iliac vein occlusion led to chronic venous insufficiency.
  • Patient 2: Stenting of residual (sub)occlusion resulted in asymptomatic status at two-year follow-up.
  • Patient 3: No residual abnormality found, with a good outcome at one year.

Findings:

  • Conservative management of residual iliac vein occlusion can lead to poor long-term outcomes.

  • Endovascular stenting of residual iliac vein stenosis is a viable option, offering good long-term results.
  • Venous thrombectomy remains a relevant treatment modality for DVT.

    • Implications:

    • Long-term outcomes in ilio-femoral DVT management can be improved by integrating endovascular techniques.
    • Personalized treatment approaches based on residual venous obstruction are essential.
    • Further research into optimizing DVT treatment protocols is warranted.
