RevCore thrombectomy system for treatment of chronic left external and common iliac vein stent occlusion

J Vasc Surg Cases Innov Tech. 2024 Mar 12;10(3):101482. doi: 10.1016/j.jvscit.2024.101482. eCollection 2024 Jun.

Abstract

In recent years, deep venous stenting has increasingly become a treatment strategy for post-thrombotic syndrome. Stent thrombosis can occur, resulting in symptom recurrence despite medical therapy, and there are few options available for durable stent patency restoration. We present a case of a 50-year-old male with prior iliocaval reconstruction that experienced recurrent left lower extremity swelling secondary to occlusion of left external iliac and common iliac vein stents during follow-up. Mechanical thrombectomy with the RevCore System and angioplasty was performed. One month later, the patient demonstrated widely patent bilateral iliac vein stents and complete symptomatic resolution. The RevCore System is a feasible alternative for treatment of chronic in-stent thrombosis.
