Methods: A retrospective single site cohort study was conducted by evaluating the most recent 100 iliac vein and inferior vena cava ultrasounds in patients who had undergone iliac vein stenting. Inclusion criteria included a history of iliac vein stent placement. Exclusion criteria included patients under 18-years-old, duplicates of the same patient, and pregnancy at the time of ultrasound. The degree of visualization for color flow, gray scale, and phasicity were determined and classified into the following categories: complete, partial, or none. In addition, each chart was assessed for external compression, in-stent narrowing, and requirements for further imaging. Results: Of the 100 iliac vein and IVC ultrasounds assessed in this review, 99 of the ultrasounds were sufficient for evaluation during follow-up visits without requiring further investigation. Within this study cohort, the average follow-up time was 22\u00a0months. The average participant body mass index was 27.6. One iliac vein and IVC ultrasound was considered inadequate for follow-up evaluation and required further imaging. Conclusion: The use of iliac and IVC venous doppler ultrasound alone in the follow-up evaluation of iliac stent patency is effective and noninvasive and avoids unnecessary radiation exposure and cost.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/02683555241276565","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,26]],"date-time":"2024-08-26T17:51:01Z","timestamp":1724694661000},"page":"110-115","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":2,"title":["Efficacy of ultrasound in the evaluation of iliac vein stenting"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"40","author":[{"given":"Hannah","family":"Clode","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists, Highlands Ranch, CO, USA"},{"name":"University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-4447-3427","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elizabeth Brooke","family":"Spencer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists, Highlands Ranch, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Nelson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists, Highlands Ranch, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0002-7932-7227","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Elisabeth S","family":"Horne","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Minimally Invasive Procedure Specialists, Highlands Ranch, CO, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,8,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-02683555241276565","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvsv.2012.11.002"},{"key":"bibr2-02683555241276565","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3310\/hta20050"},{"key":"bibr3-02683555241276565","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jvir.2020.06.017"},{"key":"bibr4-02683555241276565","unstructured":"Neimark AI, Shelkovnikova NV.
