Successful Wallstent exclusion of iliofemoral venous aneurysms-a new treatment paradigm.

Published in: Journal of vascular surgery cases and innovative techniques (2023)
Treatment of venous aneurysms involving the iliac and femoral veins has generally been an open surgical approach, with a few case reports noting use of an endovascular approach. We report three cases: (1) a patient with an iliocaval occlusion involving an occluded TrapEase filter who presented with a large left external iliac vein aneurysm; (2) a patient with a left common femoral vein aneurysm; and (3) a patient with left profunda femoris vein aneurysms with associated pulmonary embolism. All three patients were successfully managed with the use of appropriately sized bare metal woven stents (Wallstents; Boston Scientific). Their clinical presentation, technical considerations, and outcomes are reviewed.
