Iliac Vein Stenting: Best Practices for Patient Safety and Successful ...
WEBFor a chronically occluded vein, stent sizing can be based on known normal diameters of iliac veins: 14 to 16 mm for the CIV, 12 to 14 mm for the external iliac vein (EIV), and 10 to 12 mm for the CFV. 19 The length of stent (s) needed is determined most efficiently by the IVUS catheter, which has radiopaque markers.
Thoracic Aortic Aneurysms: At What Size Should We Intervene?
WEBThoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder that without intervention carries a poor prognosis. Once diagnosed, the 3-year survival for large degenerative TAAs (> 60 mm in diameter) is approximately 20%. 1 Hospital admissions in the United Kingdom for TAAs have doubled in the last decade, and von Allmen and colleagues reported a TAA hospital admission rate of nine ...
