Abstract

Stent implantation is frequently used to treat iliac vein occlusion. However, the recommended extension of the stent mesh into the inferior vena cava (IVC) may affect blood flow through the contralateral iliac vein. We analyzed the influence of iliac vein stent extension on contralateral iliac vein patency and neointima formation in a dog surgery model. Bare stents were implanted into the left iliac veins of 12 beagles with the proximal end covering the opening of the contralateral iliac vein. Blood flow was measured by color Doppler 4, 8, and 12 weeks postoperation. At each measurement point, a subgroup was killed, and the stents and veins were removed for pathological examination. Stents were successfully implanted, and there was no immediate stent occlusion or iliac vein thrombus by color Doppler examinations. Contralateral blood flow was maintained with no obvious abnormalities for 12 weeks. Neointima formed and advanced toward the center of the stent, but small coverage of the contralateral iliac vein opening did not change significantly with time postoperation (9.33% ± 1.54% at 4 weeks, 10.65% ± 1.01% at 8 weeks, and 10.92% ± 1.30% at 12 weeks; P > .05). Scanning electron microscopy showed neointima covering the surface o...Continue Reading

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
