Venous stents are frequently implanted when adequate venous patency is not achieved following angioplasty, often in cases of iliofemoral thrombosis or post-thrombotic syndrome resulting from chronic iliofemoral thrombosis. However, these stents commonly experience re-thrombosis due to various factors, including incorrect placement, undersizing, and insufficient coverage of the diseased vein. Vascular surgeon Dr. Steven Abramowitz and interventional radiologist Dr. Angelo Marino team up to explain how to manage the distinct etiologies of venous stent rethrombosis.
