Detecting stent geometry changes after venous recanalization using duplex ultrasound.

Conclusion Duplex ultrasound has sufficient accuracy in detection of stent changes and its patency. There is a discrepancy between diameter of the stent lumen in vitro and after deployment in all patients. Stent occlusion is related to reduction of stent lumen over the time rather than the percent of the stenosis. PMID: 29409393 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
