Abstract

Introduction: Endovenous stenting is being increasingly used for the management of iliofemoral venous outflow obstruction due to thrombotic or non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVL). Dedicated venous stents have replaced re-purposed arterial stents but there are limited data on their relative safety and efficacy.Areas covered: This review looks at the available literature on the safety and efficacy of the Veniti Vici Venous stent (Boston Scientific), a specific venous stent, and compares its outcomes with the other venous stents that are currently available. Reported outcomes include patency, clinical efficacy, and the number of adverse events.Expert opinion: The initial clinical trials of the Vici venous stent have shown both good clinical and safety outcomes at 12-24 months follow-up. Longer follow-up data are pending and further trials comparing available stents are required. Current evidence supports its use in the management of deep venous reconstruction, especially in occlusive post-thrombotic disease. Patients should, however, be made aware of the paucity of long-term data and the need for monitoring within a dedicated surveillance program following stent placement.
