Core Tip

Core Tip: Endovascular therapy is playing an increasing role in the treatment of iliofemoral venous disease. Iliac stent patency is multifactorial, and current management is based on best clinical practices. Despite an underlying anatomic venous abnormality, half of our patient cohort with stented thrombotic iliac vein compression syndrome tested positive for thrombophilia. The presence of thrombophilia did not demonstrate a statistically significant difference in stent patency rates or re-intervention rates.
