Patency rates, safety and clinical results of the sinus-Obliquus venous stent in the treatment of chronic ilio-femoral venous outflow obstruction - data from the Arnsberg venous registry.
VASA-EUROPEAN JOURNAL OF VASCULAR MEDICINE(2019)
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 (rVC-SS) 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.
