Long-term clinical outcomes of self-expandable closed-cell and open-cell stents for endovascular reconstruction of the inferior vena cava.
Summary: Background: Inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction may cause acute descending thrombosis, post-thrombotic syndrome, or chronic venous insufficiency. Endovascular IVC stent reconstruction may improve clinical outcomes but the risk of patency loss is considerable. Stent design might impact the patency rates, but d...
