CLINICAL DATA
- Swollen left leg 10 months after an IF DVT

- Attempted lysis treatment complicated by genuine anaphylactic reaction to iodinated contrast
- Abandoned
- CTV showed IVC to ankle DVT
- Transferred to Galway; 3 days CDT improved situation, did not stent
- Anticoagulated for 7 months; leg has improved; still some venous claudication
- MRV to follow: MRV shows chronic iliac occlusion IVC to L CFV
- We think CFV is good enough for inflow

PROCEDURAL STEPS
1. Access R IVJ; L FV or PFV General anaesthetic; supine, urethral catheter
- 10F 35cm sheath

- or FV cephalad end
4. Stent choice
there is no right or wrong; no stent has a proven advantage over another – so: deploying from inferior to superior
- 14 mm Wallstent/ Veniti Vici/ Bard Venovo/Cook Zilver Vena/ OPTI MED Sinus Venous/ MEDTRONIC Abre; then 16 mm to CIV
5. Identifying the dominant inflow by IVUS is probably the key step to this case
