1 Initial experience with venous stents in exertional axillary-subclavian vein thrombosis 
George H. Meier, MD, Jeffrey S. Pollak, MD, Melvin Rosenblatt, MD, Kevin W. Dickey, MD, Richard J. Gusberg, MD  Journal of Vascular Surgery  Volume 24, Issue 6, Pages (December 1996) DOI: /S (96) Copyright © 1996 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

2 Fig. 1 Initial diagnostic venogram of left arm in initial patient, a 17-year-old woman with left arm pain and swelling of several days duration. Subclavian vein is acutely thrombosed, with extensive collateral formation to jugular system.

3 Fig. 2 In the same patient, after 22 hours of urokinase infusion, digital subtraction venogram demonstrates patent subclavian vein with significant residual obstruction.

4 Fig. 3 PTA of residual stenosis (with a 10 mm by 5 cm balloon inflated to 5 atmospheres) demonstrates persistent waist at stenosis that never completely dilated (paired arrows). Subsequently, 70% residual narrowing was present.

5 Fig. 4 Completion venogram after PTA and venous stent placement using a 12 mm by 9 cm Wallstent. Journal of Vascular Surgery  , DOI: ( /S (96) ) Copyright © 1996 Society for Vascular Surgery and International Society for Cardiovascular Surgery, North American Chapter Terms and Conditions

6 Fig. 5 In this same patient at 8 months' follow-up, fracture of venous stent is demonstrated by chest roentgenogram (arrow).

7 Fig. 6 Digital subtraction venogram in same patient at 30 months' follow-up demonstrates venous patency with fractured stent (arrow). Presence of collateral veins suggests hemodynamically significant restenosis.
