Why is it important?
The Sinus-Obliquus® iliac venous stent (Optimed, Germany) is a self-expanding oblique hybrid nitinol stent to treat MTS. The stent has a proximal closed-cell section that provides high radial force at the blocked site; with an oblique design (35°) at the proximal end prevents jailing of the contralateral iliac vein or vena cava occlusion
Perspectives
Current endovascular technique brings excellent results in the recanalization of the iliac venous system, in that group of patients with exuberant symptomatology, subjecting the patient to minimal surgical trauma
