摘要
Stent implantation has been proven to be safe and has become the first-line intervention for May-Thumer syndrome(MTS),with satisfactory mid-term patency rates and clinical outcomes.Recent research has demonstrated that catheter-directed thrombolysis is the preferred strategy when MTS is combined with deep vein thrombosis after self-expanding stent placement.However,the stent used for the venous system was developed based on the experience obtained in the treatment of arterial disease.Consequently,relatively common corresponding complications may come along later,which include stent displacement,deformation,and obstruction.Different measures such as adopting a stent with a larger diameter,improving stent flexibility,and increasing stent strength have been employed in order to prevent these complications.The ideal venous stent is presently being evaluated and will be introduced in detail in this review.
