Abstract:Objectives Venous stenting of the lower extremities has grown in popularity and is now considered a key component of the primary treatment strategy for the management of pathologically obstructive or stenotic lesions of the deep venous system. This review aims to provide an overview of the role of venous stenting in the management of chronic conditions affecting the deep venous system of the lower limbs. Methods An overview of venous stents design and current role of stenting procedure in individuals presentin… Show more
“…The venous system carries a larger volume of blood with lower pressure and velocity compared to the arterial system. Consequently, venous walls have higher resistance to dilation and are more flexible to external compressions [ 18 ].…”

“…Additionally, the stent should have a high radial force to maintain its diameter, especially in veins that are exposed to compressions [ 18 ]. The radial force is defined as the external force of the stent or the strength of the stent when compressed to 10 % of the original diameter [ 26 ].…”

“…Moreover, a study by Cheng et al [ 61 ] reported that the point of maximum flexion of the iliac venous system during hip flexion is inferior to the inguinal ligament, and the common femoral vein is several centimeters inferior to the inguinal ligament. So extending stents below this level does not significantly affect patency rates [ 18 ]. Factors influencing stent selection in the iliocaval venous system …”

“…Recently, novel treatments such as venous stenting and minimally invasive valvular procedures have been developed and tested in clinical trials. [12][13][14] While these innovations appear encouraging, considerable heterogeneity in the outcomes reported have hindered comparison of these trials and posed challenges to evidence synthesis. 10, 12 Concerns have also been raised that the outcomes currently reported fail to reflect the priorities of under-represented stakeholders such as patients and their carers.…”
“…To the Editor, I wanted to congratulate Taha MA et al 1 for their excellent and comprehensive review on dedicated venous stents in the management of chronic iliocaval and femoral deep venous disease. A few additional points that maybe of interest to the readers are listed below:…”
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
