5 Is Venography Alone Adequate to Evaluate the Deep Veins? We develop strategies to compensate for the shortcomings of venography and convince ourselves it s adequate. Peter Neglén, MD, Ph.D. Venogram poor diagnostic sensitivity 1 34% of pts. w/ chronic venous symptoms had iliac vein obstruction and normal venogram 2 Collaterals, 43% of limbs that were stented Negus D, Fletcher EW, Cockett FB, Thomas ML. Compression and band formation at the mouth of the left common iliac vein. Br J Surg 1968;55: Raju S, Neglén P. High prevalence of nonthrombotic iliac vein lesions in chronic venous disease: a permissive role in pathogenicity. J Vasc Surg 2006;44: Raju S, Darcey, Neglén P.

7 Study Objectives Primary Objective 1. Prospectively compare multiplanar venography vs.intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) for diagnosing treatable iliac/common femoral vein obstruction (ICFVO) 2. Characterize the patient response to iliofemoral venous intervention [Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) and Quality of Life (QoL) measures] over 6-month follow-up 3. Assess the presence and significance of associations between venography and IVUS findings and symptom resolution. 7

8 Study Objectives Primary Objectives 1. Prospectively compare the diagnostic performance of multiplanar venography and Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) for diagnosing treatable iliac/common femoral vein obstruction (ICFVO) 2. Prospectively compare clinical decision making regarding treatment based on multiplanar venography vs. IVUS 3. Charecterize the patient response to iliofemoral venous stenting [Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS) and Quality of Life (QoL) 6-month follow-up 8

9 Study Design Prospective, multi-center, single-arm 14 Sites: US (n = 11) and Europe (n = 3) 100 patients CEAP 4-5, n=50; CEAP 6, n=50 Follow-up visits: 1m and 6m ^ For subjects with C6 disease 9

10 Study Design Venogram Standardized: (CIV, EIV, CFV) Catheter (6Fr sheath) at cranial Femoral V 20cc half-strength contrast (Opacify Veins) Hand injection AP, 30 0 RAO and 30 0 LAO views Significant Stenosis : Venogram: 50% Diameter reduction IVUS: 50% CSA reduction 10

15 Intravascular Ultrasound VIDIO Case Diagnosis: Non-Thrombotic Iliac Vein Lesions (NIVL) x2 CIV Reference CIV Tightest Stenosis Common Iliac Vein 58% Cross-Sectional Area Reduction Tightest Stenosed Area of 72mm 2 External Iliac Vein 38% Cross-Sectional Area Reduction Tightest Stenosed Area of 88mm 2 EIV Reference Reference Iliac Vein EIV Tightest Stenosis /002

16 Baseline Imaging: Venogram and IVUS (Site-Reported) Venogram and IVUS Findings Veins Segment* Percent of Lesions Total Segments Assessed % Lesion on IVUS but not Venogram % Lesion on Venogram but not IVUS 5 1.7% Lesion on both Venogram and IVUS % No appreciable stenosis, Venogram or IVUS % *Common Iliac, External Iliac, and Common Femoral veins IVUS more sensitive for ICFVO Stenosis vs. Venogram 16

17 IVUS vs. Venogram: Diameter (Core Laboratory) Multiplanar Venography underestimates the degree of diameter stenosis compared to IVUS. Venogram missed 26% of >50% diameter-reduction lesions IVUS determined stenoses, in general, were 10.9% more severe (mean) than by Venogram (P <.001) 17

18 IVUS vs. Venogram: Area (Core Laboratory) Surprisingly, multiplanar venography allows a relatively accurate assessment of area reduction / stenosis when compared to IVUS. However, even with 3 view venograms,, 17.7% of significant CSA lesions (defined by >50% area reduction) were missed. 18

19 Procedure Decision Making Site Investigator: Venogram vs. IVUS -> Stent? Decision To Stent: Changed 60/100 (60%) pts. due to IVUS Stent Number, n=50 pts., Increased from 0->1 stent or 1->2 stents due to IVUS Without IVUS, undertreat ICFVO! 19

20 Ulcer Size: Stented vs. Non-stented Subjects 20 Time Point Mean in Stented Subjects (N = 36) Mean in Non-Stented Subjects (N=14) Subjects 36 (72%) 14 (28%) Baseline 34.6 cm cm 2 1 month 26.0 cm cm 2 6 months 27.5 cm cm 2 Baseline vs. 1 month P =.002 P =.021 Baseline vs. 6 months P =.017 P = Month vs. 6 months P =.855 P =.202 Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test Ulcer Size: Non Stented > 6 months Ulcer Recurring at 6 mos.?

21 Patient with Pain Quality of Life: SF-36 v.2 Patients who had stents placed for ICFVO: Pt. Pain improved, baseline at 1 mos. (p=0.001) Pt. Pain improved, baseline at 6 mos. (p>0.001) Pts. Feel better when lesions identified / treated 21

22 VIDIO: Results Stent Placement with IVUS determined: 50% CSA/diameter reduction generally predicts clinical improvement (VCSS) 61% CSA diameter stenosis may be better cutoff for predicting clinical improvement w/ compression lesions Gagne et al, Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders Volume 5, Number 1, abstracts, p /002

23 Conclusions Primary Endpoint: (CEAP4-6 pts.) IVUS vs. Multiplanar Venogram IVUS more sensitive for identifying ICFVO IVUS better define degree of CSA / diameter Stenosis IVUS best guide for Stent Intervention 23

24 Conclusions Secondary Endpoints (CEAP4-6 pts.) QOL / Clinical improvement when stent ICFVO Not all patients improve after stenting ICFVO Appropriate patient / lesion / stenosis: require further investigation Different Vein Pathology ( i.e. compression vs. PTD) may have different treatment thresholds More Work to be Done!!!! 24

25 Thanks for Your Attention

26 VIDIO: Conclusions Further studies - define the degree of stenosis required to treat for predictable clinical improvement Different Vein Pathologies ( i.e. compression vs. PTD) may have different treatment thresholds /002
