[Deep Veins: Hybrid Procedure for Treatment of Iliofemoral Obstruction].
Zentralblatt Für Chirurgie 2017 October
Background Endovascular recanalisation of chronic obstruction of iliofemoral or caval veins gives very good patency. However, patency decreases if the common femoral vein and its side branches are also involved. Endophlectomy during a hybrid procedure can improve outcome and avoid early reocclusion due to restored inflow. The review presents the technical details and the published results of this technique. Results The hybrid procedure combines venous recanalisation and stent angioplasty with endophlebectomy. There have only been 4 studies with more than 10 patients and follow-up between 6 and 24 months. Primary and secondary patency ranges from 0 to 70% and 30 to 93%, respectively, but most patients showed clinical benefit. Conclusion Although there have only been a few studies on the hybrid procedure with endophlebectomy, this technique seems to improve the outcome of venous recanalisation if femoral inflow is disturbed.
