Abstract
OBJECTIVE Patients with PTS experience an impaired quality of life (QoL). We aimed to study QoL in patients stented for post thrombotic syndrome (PTS) and analyze the influence of different parameters. METHODS Patients stented for PTS after iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis were asked to complete the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) in this cross-sectional study. All other data were collected retrospectively. Primary endpoints were median CIVIQ-20 and physical (PCS) and mental (MCS) component summary SF-36 scores. The influence of age, sex, and years between the procedure and completion of questionnaire were investigated using a multivariate linear regression model. Wilcoxon signed rank test compared the PCS and MCS with the normative. Effects of inflow from the deep femoral vein (DFV) and/or the femoral vein (FV) on QoL was analyzed in patients with patent stents. RESULTS The response rate was 70.3% (n = 45/64). Time period (median) from stenting to questionnaire completion was 6.6 years (IQR: 8.0). Most stents were placed unilateral left-sided (73.3%). For patients with patent stents (n = 42) median CIVIQ-20 was 35.5 (IQR: 17.3), higher than the minimum of 20.0 (P < .001). Median PCS of 44.7 (IQR: 14.2) was lower (P < .001), and MCS of 55.9 (IQR: 7.1) higher (P = .001) than the normative (50.0). Time since stenting and sex were not associated with QoL. Age was a significant predictor [standardized coefficient ß = .36, P = .04] for QoL using the CIVIQ-20, but not for the SF-36. Inflow disease did not impact QoL, but patients with occluded stents (n = 3) had poor functioning levels. CONCLUSION Quality of life is impaired after venous stenting for PTS, particularly physical functioning, among patients with an open stent, but was similar between patients with good and impaired inflow. Patients with a permanent stent occlusion had the lowest QoL.

Abstract
Objective To evaluate patient reported outcome measures after early clot removal for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT), using the Chronic Venous Disease Quality of Life Questionnaire (CIVIQ-20) and the Short Form Health Survey (SF-36). Methods Cross sectional design. Patients who underwent early clot removal between June 2012 and November 2021 were asked to complete the two questionnaires once. Lower CIVIQ-20 and higher SF-36 scores indicate better quality of life (QoL). Primary endpoints were the median scores. The one sample Wilcoxon signed rank test was used to compare SF-36 physical and mental component summary (PCS and MCS) to the normative and CIVIQ-20 to the minimum. Secondary, non-parametric independent t test or Fisher's exact test examined how age, sex, body mass index, stent placement, re-intervention, and time of questionnaire completion related to QoL. Multivariable linear regression tested whether various variables were associated with QoL. Results The response rate was 73.5% (n = 39). Median time of questionnaire completion was 1.8 years (interquartile range [IQR] 3.1) after clot removal. The median CIVIQ-20 of 29.0 (IQR 28.0) was slightly higher than the minimum value 20.0 (p < .001). The median PCS (50.5, IQR 16.6) and median MCS (50.2, IQR 14.2) did not differ from the normative of 50.0. However, wide IQRs indicated impairments for a subgroup of patients. None of the tested variables affected QoL except for the finding that re-interventions had a significantly negative impact on the SF-36 MCS (standardised β coefficient of -0.4, p = .030). Conclusion Overall patient reported outcome measures were satisfactory after early clot removal, but impaired physical and mental functioning levels were present in a subgroup of patients. Re-interventions were found to have a negative impact on mental QoL. This finding was independent of time that had passed between the procedure and questionnaire completion. This study emphasises that mental functioning deserves attention, besides the widely recognised physical consequences after invasive acute iliofemoral DVT treatment.

Abstract
Venous stenting could alleviate exercise intolerance associated with chronic inferior vena cava (IVC) obstruction. We describe a 36-year-old male patient with an unknown IVC-obstruction. The obstruction was discovered after a bi-iliac deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The thrombus was resolved using thrombolysis. In the chronic phase, the patient developed exercise intolerance without any leg-specific symptoms or signs. Venous stenting was performed to open the IVC-obstruction, 1 year after the acute DVT. His physical condition improved, but cardiac magnetic resonance imaging at rest did not reveal hemodynamical changes after stenting. The Short Form Health Survey (SF-36) physical and mental component summaries were increased from 40.3 to 46.1 and 42.2 to 53.7, respectively. In patients with iliocaval obstruction, improved venous flow without changes in resting hemodynamics can enhance exercise intolerance and quality of life, even in the absence of leg symptoms. Diagnostic tools performed only at rest may miss abnormalities.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Venous stenting is performed increasingly for acute deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and post-thrombotic syndrome (PTS) with good short term patency results, but long term data are scarce. The purpose of this study was to evaluate long term outcome of stenting for acute DVT and PTS and to study causes of re-intervention. METHODS All patients stented for acute DVT and PTS between May 2006 and November 2021 were included retrospectively in this single centre cohort study. Patency was studied by duplex ultrasound (DUS) or computed tomography. The primary endpoint was stent patency. Re-intervention free survival was calculated using Kaplan-Meier methods. Secondary endpoints were causes of re-intervention, using the Pouncey classification system (2022). Binary logistic regression was used to calculate odds ratios for predictors of re-intervention. RESULTS A total of 114 patients were included, with 129 limbs involved (acute DVT n = 53; 41%), PTS n = 76; 59%). Median follow up was 2.3 years (interquartile range [IQR] 2.3) for acute DVT and 5.2 years (IQR 7.1) for PTS. Primary patency, secondary patency, and permanent occlusion were 73.5%, 98.1%, and 1.9% for acute DVT, and 63.2%, 92.1%, and 7.9% for PTS limbs. Overall, 41 limbs underwent at least one re-intervention: 14 in the acute DVT group and 27 for PTS. Most re-interventions (82.9%) were performed within the first year after stenting. Missed inflow, insufficient flow, and thrombosis despite anticoagulation were the most common causes of re-intervention. The strongest predictor for re-intervention for PTS was inflow disease (odds ratio 3.57, 95% confidence interval 1.26 - 10.13, p= .017). CONCLUSION Long term patency of deep venous stenting is good. Re-interventions are typically performed in the first year and are potentially preventable by improving the procedure and patient selection. Since secondary patency rates are excellent, selected patients may be considered for discharge from long term surveillance.

Abstract
PURPOSE The cauda equina syndrome (CES) is a rare condition affecting less than 1 in 100,000 patients annually. Diagnosing CES is challenging because of its rare incidence, potentially subtle presentation, and various underlying etiologies. Vascular causes, such as inferior vena cava (IVC) thrombosis, are uncommon but should be considered, since timely recognition and treatment of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) as a cause of CES can avoid irreversible neurological damage. CASE REPORT A 30-year-old male presented with partial CES caused by nerve root compression due to venous congestion from an extensive iliocaval DVT. He completely recovered after thrombolysis and stenting of the IVC. His iliocaval tract remained patent until the last date of follow-up at 1 year without signs of post-thrombotic syndrome. Broad molecular, infectious, and hematological laboratory tests did not reveal any underlying disease for the thrombotic event, particularly no hereditary or acquired thrombophilia. CONCLUSION Timely recognition of venous thrombosis as a cause of CES is essential. This is the first case report of CES caused by an extensive iliocaval DVT successfully treated with thrombolysis and venous stenting with good resolution of DVT and CES. CLINICAL IMPACT This case-report describes a patient with cauda equina syndrome resulting from an extensive iliocaval deep vein thrombosis due to an underlying stenosis of the inferior vena cava. Thrombolysis and venous stenting succesfully restored venous patency and thereby relieved symptoms and signs of cauda equina syndrome, in addition to (long-term) therapeutic dose anticoagulation. It is important to timely recognize deep vein thrombosis as a cause of cauda equina syndrome and to consider endovenous treatment in a specialized center.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Spontaneous iliac vein rupture is a rare, but frequently lethal condition. It is important to timely recognize its clinical features and immediately start adequate treatment. We aimed to increase awareness to clinical features, specific diagnostics, and treatment strategies of spontaneous iliac vein rupture by evaluating the current literature. METHODS A systematic search was conducted in EMBASE, Ovid MEDLINE, Cochrane, Web of Science, and Google Scholar from inception until January 23, 2023, without any restrictions. Two reviewers independently screened for eligibility and selected studies describing a spontaneous iliac vein rupture. Patient characteristics, clinical features, diagnostics, treatment strategies, and survival outcomes were collected from included studies. RESULTS We included 76 cases (64 studies) from the literature, mostly presenting with left-sided spontaneous iliac vein rupture (96.1%). Patients were predominantly female (84.2%), had a mean age of 61 years, and frequently presented with a concomitant deep vein thrombosis (DVT) (84.2%). After various follow-up times, 77.6% of the patients survived, either after conservative, endovascular, or open treatment. Endovenous or hybrid procedures were frequently performed if the diagnose was made before treatment, and almost all survived. Open treatment was common if the venous rupture was missed, for some cases leading to death. CONCLUSION Spontaneous iliac vein rupture is rare and easily missed. The diagnose should at least be considered for middle-aged and elderly females presenting with hemorrhagic shock and concomitant left-sided DVT. There are various treatment strategies for spontaneous iliac vein rupture. An early diagnose brings options for endovenous treatment, which seems to have good survival outcomes based on previously described cases.
