Iliocaval Occlusion

7.4.1 Introduction
Deep venous obstruction is split into non­thrombotic, acute thrombotic, or post-thrombotic etiologies; patients with the greatest disease burden have involvement of the inferior vena cava (IVC) and/or the iliac veins. In patients with severe chronic venous insufciency presenting with healed or active venous ulcers, more than one-third have iliocaval obstructions of at least 50%, with about one-quarter having iliocaval
obstructions of greater than 80% [32]. In this section, we will describe the clinical characteristics of iliocaval obstructive disease, followed by endovascular management.
7.4.2 Etiologies
There are a broad range of etiologies contributing to iliocaval obstruction. Malignant caval obstruc­tions are uncommon and occur secondary to masses that compress or rarely invade the IVC or iliac veins (Fig.7.11). Various cancers can result in retroperitoneal nodal or direct tumoral involve­ment that can cause caval obstruction; metastases from distant sites have been described as well [33].
• Patients may present with symptoms of lower extremity pain, swelling, skin changes, or lymphorrhea.
• Endovascular stent placement of unresectable malignancies often provides immediate relief;

considered as largely palliative [33].
• Similarly, retroperitoneal brosis due to thera­peutic radiation or inammatory processes can cause iliocaval obstruction.
Perhaps the most common cause of chronic iliocaval obstruction, at least in the United States, is thrombosis secondary to an in situ IVC lter (Fig. 7.12). While there has been

• The prospective, randomized Prevention du Risque d’Embolie Pulmonaire par Interruption Cave (PREPIC) trial demonstrated that patients who received permanent IVC lters had a cumulative incidence of recurrent DVT

7.4.3 Clinical Presentation of
Iliocaval Disease
Overall, the symptomatology of chronic iliocaval obstructions varies broadly. Presenting symptoms of pain or swelling and venous claudication are the most common, approaching 100% and 81%, respectively [41].
• The venous CEAP (clinical, etiological, ana­tomical, pathophysiological) is widely used to broadly classify lower extremity disease [42].
• The clinical severity score (VCSS) and Villalta PTS are more precise in scoring disease sever­ity. In a series of 120 patients with IVC throm­bosis, 37% presented with class 3 symptomatology, whereas 26% presented with class 4 and 19% presented with class 6 [43]. Similar distributions have been reported, with clinical class 3 being the most common [44, 45].
– In a series of 89 patients with non-
malignant obstructive iliocaval lesions, the median presenting VCSS score was 9 prior to stenting [44].
Fig. 7.12 Thrombosis secondary to an in situ lter
of 8.5% at 1year, which increased to 20.8% at 2years and 35.7% at 8years [38, 39].
• More recently, it has been shown that about 2% of indwelling IVC lters may result in symptomatic iliocaval obstruction. Desai etal. demonstrated in a study of 1582 lter-bearing patients that male sex, central neurologic disease, and implantation time greater than 6 or 12 months were signicantly associated with IVC thrombosis [40].
• Causes are likely multifactorial. IVC lters trap thrombus, which may predispose further propagation. Additionally, the type of lter may play a role due to geometric variability resulting in differential ow dynamics and subsequent clot entrapment. Lastly, there may be inherent thrombogenicity of the lter itself as a foreign object.
7.4.4 Endovascular Management of Chronic Iliocaval Occlusion
Venous stent placement was rst described in the late 1980s to address low patency rates following surgical bypass [46]. Since then, it has been recognized that stent placement is safe and can lead to signicant improvement in symptoms [4749]. Despite common practice, the development of dedicated venous stents has lagged behind arterial stents, though several venous-specic designs are now available.
Elgiloy-braided stents have the greatest breadth of experience for venous obstruction [50]. Neglén etal. demonstrated that among 982 femoro-iliocaval veins, primary patency was 57% and assisted-primary patency rates were 80% in thrombotic lesions [49]. In a series of 115 patients undergoing bilateral stenting for iliocaval obstruction, primary patency rates at 4 years
7 Venous Interventions
271
were demonstrated to be 61% using Wallstents [51].
Contemporary studies have focused on the uti-
lization of dedicated venous stents in the IVC.
• In a series of 59 patients with IVC obstruc­tion, endovascular reconstruction using the Vici Venous Stent (Veniti, Fremont, CA) resulted in primary patency rates of 91.2%,
71.0%, and 24.1% at 1, 3, and 5years, respec­tively [52].
• For patients in this cohort presenting with PTS, Villalta scores decreased from 14.2 to
8.1 at 1 year follow-up and 6.8 at 2 years [52].
7.4.5 Pre-procedural Considerations
Successful iliocaval reconstruction is dependent on thorough imaging review. Duplex ultrasound is a noninvasive imaging modality that provides information about the inow, the degree of obstruction, and the presence of concomitant supercial venous disease.
• When considering endovascular intervention, this is crucial to adequately assess the status of common femoral vein (CFV) inow and profunda femoris vein to conrm inow adequacy and ultimately determine whether stents can be supported.
• Axial imaging, including computed tomo­graphic venography (CTV), is very useful in assessing the IVC and iliac anatomy, as well as for the presence of causative factors such as an IVC lter.
Access sites depend on the extent and ana-
tomic location of vascular disease and should be selected to ensure that the inow can be fully assessed during a procedure, and that a stent can be placed into the CFV should it be signicantly compromised. Femoral and popliteal vein access are most common followed by greater saphenous vein. Internal jugular venous access may be helpful in the event adjunctive access is necessary.
7.4.6 Intra-procedural Considerations
Successful venous stent placement requires full consideration of the natural history of venous disease, pathophysiologic processes, and the mechanical properties of veins. Due to the elastic properties of the vein wall, pre-dilation of long­standing occlusions should be done prior to deploying a stent to overcome any brous retraction resulting from chronic post-thrombotic material [53].
• When more than one stent is deployed along the vessel, it is necessary to overlap the stents to ensure a stent separation does not occur.
– Uncovered portions may result in recurrent
stenosis in that area [51].
• The cranial and caudal ends of the venous stent should be placed in “healthy” venous segments, ensuring adequate inow and outow. Intraprocedurally, intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is an adjunct imaging technique that should be employed to determine cranial and caudal landing zones. IVUS is also helpful in determining the size of the vessel, degree of obstruction, and can also provide information on the chronicity of clot based on echogenicity.
For patients that require bilateral stent place-
ment, various techniques may be used including a “double-barrel” method, inverted Y stenting (requiring fenestration), and apposition (Fig.7.13). It has been suggested that the double­barrel technique results in superior patency rates and the lowest re-intervention rates [51]. In most cases, a 14-mm double-barrel stent extending into single 14mm stents in each iliac vein may be used.
• Lastly, while placing stents across the inguinal ligament is controversial in arterial lesions, venous stents can safely be deployed over this region; indeed, it is frequently required if there is an inow/CFV lesion [54].
• When crossing the ligament, a 12-mm stent is used.

7.4.6.1 IVC Filter Management
The presence of an IVC lter in the vessel may pose a unique challenge as it may be difcult to retrieve the lter; the predominant approach had been stent placement across a chronic IVC lter; this technique is further described below:
• Neglén etal. demonstrated that patency rates at 54 months are 32% with this technique; early stent occlusion within 30days occurred in 12% of patients [55].
More recent data, however, suggests that
removal of the IVC lter whenever possible is favored. Single-session IVC lter removal, recanalization, and endovascular reconstruction has been shown to result in excellent early patency rates, with 96% of patients maintaining iliocaval stent patency at 1–3months (Fig.7.14).
• This technique has demonstrated improve­ment in VCSS edema and pain subscores by
1.4 and 0.6, respectively [56].
• At 1-year follow-up, primary, primary­assisted, and secondary patency by limb is 94%, 96%, and 100%, respectively; at 2 years it is 91%, 95%, and 100%, respectively [56].
with the contralateral stent deployed with the proximal end adjacent to the ipsilateral stent. (Panel c) In the fenestration technique, the contralateral limb penetrates through the ipsilateral stent
• Thus, antecedent removal of IVC lters prior to recanalization demonstrates high rates of durable clinical success and is encouraged when possible.
7.4.6.2 Stenting Across Filters
In lters that cannot be removed, stenting across the lter is one approach to treat lter-related IVC thrombosis. This is done by crossing the obstructed area with a guidewire, followed by dilating with a balloon. This either displaces or attens the lter against the vessel wall to allow for the deployment of the stent. There are several considerations when stenting through IVC lters, although most pub­lished studies have reported overall feasibility, safety, and efcacy with this method.
• Neglén etal. published a series suggesting that primary and secondary patency following IVC stenting is not inuenced by the presence of an IVC lter, even at 54 months (32% and 75%, respectively) [55].
• However, there was a signicant association between patency and the extent of disease (occlusive vs. non-occlusive) [55].

across IVC lters are limited [57]. However, there are numerous hypothetical risks associ­ated with this method include deformity or fracture of the lter that theoretically may pen­etrate the IVC, although this has not been den­itively supported by the literature [56]. Another concern is whether displacement of the lter impacts patency of the stent by precluding complete stent expansion [55]. Renal vein thrombosis is another rare but reported compli­cation [57].
7.4.6.3 Advanced Recanalization Techniques
In iliocaval occlusions that cannot be traversed with standard wire/catheter technique, advanced recanalization techniques including sharp recanalization and radiofrequency guidewires may be used.
• There is a risk of damage to adjacent struc-
tures, particularly arteries, and familiarity

with the technique, preparedness for intrapro­cedural complications, correlation with pre­and intraprocedural imaging are key to limiting the risk of these procedures.
For sharp recanalization, a balloon or snare can be placed distal to the occlusion via a separate access site, to serve as a target. A sheath is employed close to the occlusion and a needle is carefully advanced under direct visualization.
• Sharps including the stiff end of a 0.035
guidewire, straight needles, trans-septal
needles, or Rosch-Uchida needles may be
used [58].
• In a retrospective review of central venous
occlusions, outcomes for sharp recanalization
include a 90–95% technical success rate with
minimal adverse effects (2–3%) [59, 60]. Prior
stenting or length of occlusion is not
signicantly associated with the probability of
technical success [59].

– Long-term patency data is further promis-
ing, with 79% of reconstructions remaining patent following sharp recanalization [59].
RF wires have also been described as another option for traversing vessel obstructions. The PowerWire RF Guidewire (Baylis Medical, Montreal, Quebec) is the most reported in the literature. RF wires have a technical success of crossing and resolving the occlusion ranging from 69 to 100% [6164].
Post-procedural Management andPharmacotherapy
There is no consensus on anticoagulation fol­lowing iliocaval reconstruction of chronic obstructions. Dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin may be used in the short term, with indenite use of aspirin [65]. It is noted, however, that there is a paucity of ran­domized-controlled data that supports the use of dual antiplatelet therapy [6668]. In patients with extensive occlusions, thrombophilia, and a history of long-term anticoagulation, warfarin or direct oral anticoagulants may be efcacious fol­lowing endovascular treatment. The length of treatment remains at the providers’ discretion, although it generally varies between 6 and 12months for patients with a single DVT epi­sode [68]. For all patients, compression stock­ings should be continued post-operatively along with continued ambulation and exercise recom­mendations [66].
7.4.6.4 Conclusion
Iliocaval obstruction can result in severe symp­toms secondary to venous stasis and signi­cantly impact the quality of life. Contemporary treatment involves endovascular stent place­ment. Current techniques and devices allow for relatively immediate symptom relief, although high rates of re-intervention remain an ongoing concern. In patients with IVC lters, removal of the lter is favored and may be associated with improved patency. In complex recanalizations, where the obstruction cannot be traversed with standard technique, advanced techniques using
sharp recanalization or RF wires may be neces­sary. Robust pre-procedural planning, familiar­ity with the array of endovascular devices needed to perform such procedures, and diligent follow-up are essential to maintaining good long-term outcomes.
7.5 Surgical Options
JordanC.Tasse
In the current era, surgical approaches to venous obstructive disease are extremely limited, and often mostly historically described due to the growth of endovenous success. Of note, surgical venous bypass is mostly reserved for possible fem-fem surgical bypass known as the Palma procedure, using saphenous vein conduit. Other options include PTFE and or addition of arteriovenous stula creation to increase the venous inow as the low-pressure ow can be prone to early or recurrent thrombosis.
Interestingly completely percutaneous com­mon femoral to common femoral vein prosthetic stent graft bypass creation has been performed, with long-term success. Due to the limited sam­ple size, it is reserved for extreme situations only and is soon to be published.

inWound Care: Why andHow
Compression therapy is essential in the treat­ment of edema secondary to both venous insuf­ciency and lymphedema. Generally, these therapies are required for patients with CEAP of 3–6 and patients with symptomatic lymph­edema. Though this treatment is relatively straightforward, providers must consider the
7 Venous Interventions
275
benets and risks of different forms of compres­sion therapies. The minimum tolerable com­pression pressure tailored to the patient’s requirement should be ensured to maximize compliance. The most efcacious therapy is the one that the patient can tolerate, and time should be spent counseling patients to ensure compli­ance with these therapies. This chapter will focus on the rationale of compression therapy, available options and their indications, proper use, and contraindications.
7.6.2 Why Compression Therapy?
Optimal wound care and compression therapy will heal most small venous ulcers of short dura­tion. There is Level A evidence showing that venous ulcers heal faster with compression when compared to no compression [69].
• Compression narrows veins, restores valve competence, and reduces ambulatory venous pressure, thus reducing venous reux.
• It alleviates limb edema by decreasing inam­matory cytokines, accelerating capillary ow, and lowering capillary uid leakage.
• It also softens lipodermatosclerosis, improves lymphatic ow and function, and enhances brinolysis [70].
• Goals of compression therapy are ulcer heal­ing, reduction of pain and edema, and preven­tion of recurrence [71].
7.6.3 Types of Compression Therapies
Compression therapies are split into broad cate­gories based on static vs. dynamic and elastic vs. inelastic.
• Static therapies maintain compression and shape.
• Dynamic therapies administer intermittent compression.
• Elastic therapies stretch before applying the desired pressure.
• Non-elastic is less pliable and often used as wraps or bandages.
The type of compression therapy for a patient
is dependent on many factors, some of which include the etiology (Venous vs Lymphedema), presence of ulcer, and body habitus. Figure7.15 illustrates a owchart of the optimal use of com­pression therapies.
The most common and efcacious options are
static and elastic garments such as compression stockings. These are available in numerous lengths and pressures. Most studies recommend a pressure of at least 20–30mmHg in patients with chronic venous insufciency [7274]. Higher pressures of 40–50 mmHg may be used in the treatment of severe chronic venous insufciency, but 50–60mmHg is typically reserved for patients with severe lymphedema or burn scars. Variation in length can be utilized to target disease with options ranging from knee-high, which is ideal for most patients, to the top of the thigh which may be required after venous surgery. However, these options still have their limitations.
• Patients with severe obesity or edema may not be able to t into stockings.
• In addition, chronic lipodermatosclerosis may prevent the stockings from applying pressure due to subcutaneous brosis and hardening of the skin.
• When using stockings, it is important to per­form ulcer care prior to placement and put them on before getting out of bed in the morning when edema is minimal.
Static inelastic stockings such as the Unna
boot, a disposable wrap applied to the lower extremities, rely on muscle contraction to apply pressure [75]. Benets of this option include low price, disposability, ease of application, antimicrobial properties, and ability to be changed in patients with draining ulcers [76]. Nonetheless, these options are typically less effective than elastic bandages as pressure is dependent on muscle contraction and patients may require frequent dressing changes [75].

Multilayer dressings are static dressings that combine elastic and inelastic components in up to four layers. These are the most labor-intensive dressings but report similar efcacy to compres­sion stockings when used properly [74].
• The base is a protruding padding layer that
ofoads compression from high-pressure
areas such as bony prominences that are sus-
ceptible to developing ischemic changes.
• The next layer, the crepe bandage, is an absor-
bent layer that smooths the padded layer.
• The third layer is an elastic bandage that can
provide signicant pressure with stretch and
overlap [76, 77].
• Finally, a cohesive elastic bandage is placed
for an even greater level of compression.
Together, the layers can add up to 40mmHg
of pressure [76].
Dynamic therapies deliver intermittent pneu­matic compression via a compression pump or sleeve. These are used in patients with lymph­edema and to promote brinolysis in patients with chronic ulcers [7880]. Pneumatic compres­sion is efcacious for patients with stage 1 lymphedema on the ISL staging scale, while stage 2 lymphedema requires additional assistance from healthcare providers to maintain this efcacy [81]. This option, like the other therapies, is heavily dependent on patient compliance [82].
Finally, there are adjustable therapies, e.g., Circaid, that are used primarily for lymphedema. These therapies utilize overlapping and intertwining straps secured by Velcro. They are well tolerated and promote good compliance. Further, compression with adjustable bandages is more effective at 40 mmHg than 60 mmHg, highlighting the importance of patient tolerance and compliance in these therapies [83].
7.6.3.1 Contraindications to
Compression Therapy
Compression stockings are only efcacious in the treatment of venous ulceration and lymphedema. Some of the contraindications include:
1. Arterial ulceration and signicant peripheral arterial disease (PAD) are absolute contraindications to compression stocking use. The recommended ankle-brachial index (ABI) cutoff for absolute contraindication is an ABI <0.5, however, careful consideration must be taken in patients with any level of PAD [9, 8486].
(a) For patients with PAD, studies suggest
that up to 40mmHg of compression is safe if the absolute ankle pressure in extremities is greater than 60 mmHg [87].
2. Supercial and deep venous thrombosis, in patients without current anticoagulation ther­apy, are contraindications for compression therapy due to the theoretical risk of dislodged clots causing a pulmonary embolism.
3. Chronic heart failure with reduced ejection fraction may be exacerbated by these thera­pies because of uid volume shifts. A study that examined the use of inelastic bandages in patients with heart failure demonstrated that ejection fraction was further reduced by 72% when under pressure of 21–30 mmHg and 103% at 31–40mmHg [87].
4. Cellulitis, infection, or skin necrosis are addi­tional contraindications for compression ther­apy. Conversely, for patients with recurrent cellulitis, compression therapy may help to prevent future infections [88].
7.6.3.2 Complications
fromCompression Therapies
Most complications from these therapies stem from improper use. Skin necrosis may occur when bandages are applied too tightly, or neces­sary padding layers are not placed on high­pressure areas. Due to the location of these bandages, fungal infections may occur when dressings are not changed at proper intervals. Further, fungal infections are more common in patients with exudate accumulation, and this fac­tor should be taken into consideration during wound care planning. Finally, contact dermatitis may occur from the zinc in Unna boots or the latex in elastic wraps and the type of bandage should be changed accordingly.
