Summary: The study evaluated the safety and feasibility of single-stage treatment with left iliac vein stenting and saphenous stripping in patients with left iliac vein compression and left great saphenous vein incompetence. Both treatment approaches were effective with a high technical success rate, but the single-staged group had a higher complication rate of ecchymosis.

Summary: This study reports the closure of iliac arteriovenous fistulas associated with a post-thrombotic iliac vein occlusion by iliac venous stent recanalization. The findings suggest that primary venous stent recanalization should be considered when dealing with post-thrombotic venous obstructions with arteriovenous fistulas related to aforementioned venous lesions.

Summary: This study compared various treatments for varicose veins in the great saphenous vein, including endovenous laser ablation, radiofrequency ablation, endovenous steam ablation, ultrasound-guided foam sclerotherapy, cyanoacrylate glue, mechanochemical ablation, and high ligation and stripping. The results showed that most methods were comparable in technical success, with endovenous laser ablation possibly having an edge.

Summary: Common iliac artery aneurysm complicated by ilio-iliac arteriovenous fistulas is a rare but fatal condition that requires prompt treatment. Endovascular therapy is appropriate for reducing morbidity and mortality in such cases. Successful repair of the fistula can be achieved by stenting the common iliac vein with an aortic extension cuff.

Summary: Spontaneous rupture of the iliac vein is a rare condition, mainly located on the left side with unknown exact etiology. We present a case of an 83-year-old female who underwent emergency surgery for left external iliac vein rupture following abdominal pain after physical exertion.

Summary: The systematic review and meta-analysis found that EHIT and other thrombotic complications occur infrequently and have a benign course, but there is inconsistency regarding the management strategy for EHIT.

Summary: The three endovenous thermal ablation modalities showed equal effectiveness and safety in the treatment of great saphenous vein reflux; EVLA with the 1470-nm radial fiber demonstrated better outcomes in terms of early postoperative VCSS, pain, and physical CIVIQ scores; Clinical and quality of life benefits were similar for all modalities at 1 year postoperatively.

Summary: This study investigated the outcomes of a one-stop procedure combining iliac venous stenting and endovenous laser ablation (EVLA) for patients with recurrent varicose veins (RVVs) and iliac vein compression syndrome (IVCS). The results showed that this combined treatment is safe and effective, providing significant symptom relief and improved quality of life, as well as more satisfactory ulcer healing compared to EVLA alone.

Summary: Abdominal arteriovenous fistula is a rare condition characterized by a triad of symptoms including pulsatile abdominal mass, bruit, and high-output heart failure. This case report demonstrates successful treatment of a patient presenting with acute right heart failure and renal failure caused by an arteriovenous fistula using endovascular repair.

Summary: This study found that in extreme hemodynamic conditions, arterial blood flow was directly proportional to systemic perfusion pressure, while shunt flow was dependent on systemic vascular resistance. These experiments highlight the detrimental role of a large arteriovenous fistula in critical conditions.

Summary: Arteriovenous fistula following iliac vein thrombosis is uncommon and its pathogenesis remains unclear. Endovascular recanalization without embolization of the fistula can effectively treat iliac vein thrombosis associated with arteriovenous fistula, leading to a good clinical outcome.

Summary: The study found that all patients demonstrated improvement in both clinical outcomes and patient-reported outcomes after endovenous ablation, regardless of the size of the great saphenous vein (GSV). However, patients with a preoperative GSV size >= 5 mm experienced similar improvement in symptoms but an increased complication rate compared to those with smaller vein sizes.

Summary: This study demonstrated that wearing a compression stocking after EVLA can significantly reduce post-interventional pain within the first week, but the difference is small and may not be clinically relevant.
