Post-Thrombotic Iliac Intervention and the Importance of Detailed Venous Imaging

Jan Sloves, President and Consultant at Vascular Imaging Professionals LLC, shared on LinkedIn:

”Case Study Spotlight: Post-Thrombotic Iliac Intervention

I recently shared a fascinating case inside the Ultrasound Unlocked Case Study Library that highlights why detailed venous imaging matters.

Patient: 51-year-old male
History: IV drug use, family history DVT, Factor V Leiden, prior motorcycle accident → left leg DVT → post-thrombotic syndrome
Symptoms: Thigh/calf tightness, bursting pain after 1–2 blocks, hyperpigmentation, limited relief from anticoagulation + compression

Key Findings:

  • All distal veins compressible, no reflux
  • External iliac vein occluded up to hypogastric vein
  • Left common iliac compressed by artery
  • Velocity ratio 5.3 (>2.5 cutoff)

Intervention: successful iliac stent placement with excellent patency post-op

Takeaway: Careful duplex and IVUS evaluation can uncover hidden proximal obstructions that mimic arterial claudication, opening the door for effective endovascular treatment.
