Ongoing Registry of Deep Venous Reconstructions
Ongoing Registry of Deep Venous Reconstructions
Ongoing registration of deep venous obstructive disease patients treated by means of
 percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) and stenting with or without endophlebectomy
 (surgical desobstruction, also termed endovenectomy) of the common femoral vein and/or
 arteriovenous fistula creation.
Literature has shown endovenous reconstructions to be safe en effective in treating deep
 venous obstructive disease. Deep venous obstruction can develop in cases of (iliac) vein
 compression syndromes (e.g. May-Thurner syndrome) or in cases of post-thrombotic syndrome. In
 patients with both significant complaints (objectively measured) and venous obstruction
 objectified on imaging (duplex ultrasonography, magnetic resonance venography, CT-venography)
 stenting is indicated.

 In cases of extensive post-thrombotic damage to the veins of the lower extremity
 endophlebectomy (surgical desobstruction) of the common femoral vein can be warranted. This
 operation is generally combined with the creation of an arteriovenous fistula.

 Data of patients treated in our tertiary medical centre are entered in a prospective digital
 database, and continuously updated.
