Worsening Back and Lower Leg Pain Post Stenting of the Common Iliac Vein: Is There Evidence it is Related to Stent Size?

We present the first Venovo venous stent (BD/Bard) that was explanted because of worsening of back and leg pain post treatment and analyze data from the first 50 consecutive Venovo venous stents from our center. Stent size was obtained with intravascular ultrasound of the ipsilateral common iliac vein. The data indicate that there is no statistical relationship between the stent size and worsening or emergence of low back and leg pain. Patient-specific factors may be contributing to this extremely rare and persistent pain beyond the 30-day follow-up. PMID: 32999095 [PubMed - in process]
