Summary

Chronic obstruction of the iliac veins or inferior vena cava can occur as a result of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), or due to extrinsic compression in non-thrombotic iliac vein lesions (NIVLs). This obstruction can manifest as post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) after DVT or as chronic venous disease (CVD) in NIVL. Despite sparse evidence, rates of venous stenting for PTS and NIVLs are increasing.

A pragmatic, observer-blind, multi-centre, randomised-controlled trial for adults with CVD secondary to either PTS or NIVLs randomised to either best endovenous therapy (including venoplasty and deep venous stenting) or standard therapy (compression +/- anticoagulation). Included participants will have chronic venous disease (CEAP classification 3 - 6) secondary to proximal deep venous disease. The primary outcome is severity of venous disease at 6 months as ascertained by the Venous Clinical Severity Score (VCSS).

Conditions

  • Chronic Venous Insufficiency
  • Chronic Venous Thrombosis
  • Iliac Vein Stenosis
  • Iliac Vein Obstruction
  • Post Thrombotic Syndrome

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Deep venous stenting

Endovascular reconstruction encompasses balloon venoplasty and venous stenting. A dedicated venous stent will be used, the brand of which the individual interventionist will decide.

COMBINATION_PRODUCT

Best medical therapy

Compression stockings encompass a range of therapies used to provide an externally applied graduated-pressure up the length of the limb aiming to improve venous function and decrease lower limb swelling. Compression stockings can be classified by size and grade, i.e. the pressure the stockings applies to the limb. For the purpose of this trial Class II and Class III graduated compression stockings should be used, with the aim of providing Class III if tolerated. Antithrombotic agents include, but are not limited to: warfarin (titrated to international normalised ratio, INR), apixaban, rivaroxaban, aspirin, and clopidogrel.
