Venous diagnostics VEIN EXAMINED LEFT Common Femoral Vein 2.45 sec Superficial Femoral Vein 2.81 sec Popliteal Vein 3.22 sec Great Saphenous (SFJ) 1.68 sec Great Saphenous (knee) 5.03 sec Small Saphenous 0.11 sec CFV compressible FV, Pop partially compressible GSV 6-8 mm diameter APG: VFI 12.7 cc/sec 4
Duplex of CFV Common femoral vein waveforms studied for evidence of iliac obstruction Lack of respiratory variation No change in velocity with augmentation maneuvers
Utility of CFV duplex as a % iliac stenosis on CT/MR screening test % of duplex exams negative for ICVO % of duplex exams positive for ICVO < 50% 100% 0% 50-79% 100% 0% 80% 23% 77% 600-0003.41 Sensitivity - 77% Specificity - 100% 6

Technical performance of intervention for ICVO Pre-procedural planning is critical Venous recanalization different from arterial
3d CT guidance with merge technology
Critical planning questions Inflow adequacy Crossing strategies Managing the iliac confluence

Traversing the Obstruction Occlusion Recanalization is a challenging procedure and can be quite time-consuming. Patience is the key. For long occlusions, consider GA Raju S, McAllister S and P Neglen. Recanalization of totally occluded iliac and adjacent venous segments. J Vasc Surg 2002;36:903-911 Kölbel T et al. Chronic Iliac Vein Occlusion: Midterm results of endovascular recanalization. J Endovasc Ther 2009;16:483-491 Rosales A, Sandbaek G, Jӧrgensen JJ.

Requirements of venous crossing system (not arterial) Long stiff sheath for support 5F for initial cross then 8F to accommodate IVUS Guiding catheter Stiff glide or stiff tipped TCO wire Keep components close together for support Capability for frequent injection to confirm intraluminal position
Triaxial Crossing system Stiff Tungsten coated 5F sheath that tapers to 4F at tip Angled guiding catheter Favorite crossing wire But don t lead far out of sheath Can inject through port with system intact
Understand anatomy
Extraluminal adventures They happen Usually not associated with significant retroperitoneal hematoma
Additional crossing adjuncts IJ and femoral access RF hotwire Outback catheter with PTA balloon
Once wire across lesion Dilate with small balloon and inject to be sure no extravasation Sequentially dilate to large diameters Once large enough channel created, IVUS
Identifying Central and peripheral Landing Zone With IVUS
Measure the length of the stented area and plan the length and number of stents to be placed Length by using measuring catheter or measure length of catheter pull back externally Oversize the stent by 2mm as compared to normal vein Pre and post dilate with high pressure balloons Overlap stents at least 2-4 cm (Wallstent), 1cm nitinol stents, to avoid separation/shelfing Don t leave skip areas
Special considerations JVS 2008;48:1255 Stent can extend into IVC with low risk of contralateral thrombosis 13 cases in 980 patients Stent can be extended inferiorly into CFV without high risk of fractures/recurrent thrombosis

Post-procedure anticoagulation MTS, non-occlusive lesions Antiplatelet therapy Complex recanalizations Anticoagulate 3-6 months Favor LMWH
UNC ICVO intervention in Class 5-6 patients N=47 Median age 47 Median ulcer size 63 sq cm Median ulcer duration 2.2 years 90% post-thrombotic 87% class 3 or 4 21% reintervention rate at 12 months

Summary PTS and other deep vein issues are common Patient QOL severely affected Much we can now do to positively affect QOL (we think) Specific tool set and techniques required Can t just apply arterial methods Future studies to clearly define benefit to patients
