Anticoagulation Management and Recurrent Thrombosis after Venous Stenting for Deep Vein Thrombosis and Post-thrombotic Syndrome

Key Points

• The study aims to investigate the recurrence of venous thromboembolism (VTE) after venous stenting for DVT and post-thrombotic syndrome.
• Observed patients post-venous stenting for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS)
• Monitored incidence of recurrent VTE
• Analyzed stent patency and identified risk factors for recurrence.
• 38% of patients experienced recurrent VTE with higher rates in PTS compared to DVT
• 93% of recurrent VTE cases involved stent re-thrombosis
• Restoration of stent patency occurred in all patients after VTE, despite cessation of anticoagulation.
• No significant risk factors for recurrence were identified.
