Abstract:
Iliac vein stenosis (IVS), known as iliac vein compression syndrome, refers to a series of diseases caused by iliac vein compression or intraluminal adhesions leading to lower extremity vein or pelvic vein drainage disturbance and other clinical manifestations which is quite common in vascular surgery. The vast majority of patients with symptoms of chronic venous insufficiency (CVI) have IVS. In clinical work, IVS does not typically appear as a single symptom, while often combining with other lesions, such as varicose veins of the lower extremities, skin pigmentation, ulcer formation. Studies on its aetiology and epidemiology have found a mean age of onset of 40 years, the age of onset in females is lower than that in males, and the average of stress in females is significantly higher than that in males. Typical IVS occurs mainly in the left lower extremity in young women of reproductive age, but exceptions remain. In summary, the importance of the diagnosis of IVS in clinical practical work can be seen. CVI is a general term for all diseases that affect the morphology and function of the venous system. Compared with chronic venous disease (CVD), CVI include venous system abnormalities without symptoms or signs. Thus, it more accurately describes the diagnosis and treatment of IVS that requires clinical guidance, so its concept is quoted. With the development and advancement of medical imaging, more and more techniques provide help in the diagnosis and treatment of IVS. Therefore, professionals in various specialties have made relevant studies about the benefits and drawbacks of imaging techniques for diagnosis, treatment modalities, and prognostic management of this disease, in order to improve the diagnostic efficacy. Consequently, this review is focused on the current situation of the diagnosis and treatment of IVS under multi-modal imaging, hoping to provide choices of medical imaging technologies for the different states, and to find a better and personalized plan for patients.
