Philips launches Duo Venous Stent System for Treatment of Symptomatic Venous Outflow Obstruction

DAIC

and an investigator in the VIVID study , which contributed to the device’s FDA approval – successfully used the Duo Venous Stent System for the first time outside of a clinical trial. Duo Hybrid has a distinct integrated design that combines multiple zones of differing mechanical properties into a single stent [3].

PTA+DCB, P Key findings include: · One-year primary patency (freedom from both clinically driven target lesion revascularization and duplex ultrasound-derived restenosis) did not differ between groups, despite the significant difference in baseline calcification. · DA+DCB versus 5.9% versus 21.1%, P =0.014). 3 · One-year rates of TLR (16.6%

Aspirin Plus Rivaroxaban Versus Rivaroxaban Alone for the Prevention of Venous Stent Thrombosis Among Patients With Post-Thrombotic Syndrome: The Multicenter, Multinational, Randomized, Open-Label ARIVA Trial

Circulation

BACKGROUND:In patients with post-thrombotic syndrome, stent recanalization of iliofemoral veins or the inferior vena cava can restore venous patency and improve functional outcomes. The risk of stent thrombosis is particularly increased during the first 6 months after intervention.

Fortunately, this operator used intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). The operator documented thoughtful consideration of risks and benefits of stent placement. Technically, there was a very narrow landing zone for the stent, and missing this could result in "jailing" the LCx, which is ideally avoided.

Dr. Smith's ECG Blog

The commonest causes of MINOCA include: atherosclerotic causes such as plaque rupture or erosion with spontaneous thrombolysis, and non-atherosclerotic causes such as coronary vasospasm (sometimes called variant angina or Prinzmetal's angina), coronary embolism or thrombosis, possibly microvascular dysfunction.

Intravascular Imaging Can Improve Outcomes for Complex Stenting Procedures

DAIC

Stone, MD Mount Sinai Health System tim.hodson Wed, 04/02/2025 - 15:26 March 31, 2025 Using intravascular imaging (IVI) to guide stent implantation during complex stenting procedures is safer and more effective for patients with severely calcified coronary artery disease than conventional angiography, the more commonly used technique.

The secondary outcomes included ischemia-driven target lesion revascularization, target vessel myocardial infarction, death, cardiac death, target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis, and major adverse cardiac events. OCT was associated with a significant reduction of stent thrombosis compared with ICA (OR, 0.49 [95% CI, 0.26–0.92])
