Abstract

An endovascular approach has essentially replaced open surgery in the management of symptomatic chronic obstructive iliofemoral venous disease. In the last several years such a minimally invasive approach has shifted from use of Wallstents alone to a combination of Wallstent – Z stent (composite stenting) to better deal with the iliocaval confluence. This study evaluates the clinical and stent related outcomes following use of composite stenting.
