Fig. 2 Images of venography and intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) before and after stenting of the left common iliac vein (LCIV) (A, B). The preoperative venography via left femoral vein demonstrated left-to-right pelvic collaterals and an enlarged ascending lumber vein (A). IVUS showed wall thickening and intraluminal irregularity of the LCIV and extrinsic compression by the adjacent right branch of the vascular prosthesis prior to stenting (A). Postoperative venography showing the patent left iliac vein and diminished left-to-right collaterals (B). Even with the indentation in the middle of the stent, the lumen was wider than before stenting (B).

IVC: inferior vena cava; CIA: common iliac artery; CIV: common iliac vein
