Low Post-Stent Placement Iliofemoral Vein Peak Velocity by Doppler Ultrasound: Prognostic Implication for Re-Intervention in Thrombotic Iliac Vein Lesions.
Article in Cardiovascular and interventional radiology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
purposeTo investigate the association between post-stent placement peak velocity in the iliofemoral vein and re-intervention in patients with thrombotic iliac vein lesions.
methodsThis was a single-center retrospective cohort study. Between January 2014 and February 2024, consecutive patients who received primary stent placement for thrombotic iliac vein lesions with eligible post-procedure duplex ultrasound were included. Twenty random limbs with normal duplex ultrasound findings were selected to investigate the venous peak velocities in normal limbs. Cox regression models were used to determine predictive factors for re-intervention with a hazard ratio (HR).
resultsFifty-one patients (54 limbs) were included. The mean age was 41.9 ± 18.2 years, and 78.4% were female. During a median follow-up of 32.7 months, 27.7% (15/54) of limbs encountered symptom recurrence with stent malfunction and received re-intervention. There was no significant difference in CIV peak velocity between patent stented limbs and normal limbs (30.3 vs 32.0 cm/s, p = .29). However, the limbs that required re-intervention had a significantly lower CIV peak velocity (25.3 vs 32.0 cm/s, p < .001). Post-stent placement peak velocities in the iliofemoral veins were significantly associated with re-intervention. ROC analysis suggested common iliac vein (CIV) peak velocity had the highest predictive performance (area under curve = 0.76). A CIV peak velocity < 26.6 cm/s (adjusted HR 6.66; p = .016) was significantly associated with an increased re-intervention risk.
conclusionLow post-stent placement peak velocities in the iliofemoral veins were significantly associated with future re-intervention in patients with thrombotic iliac vein lesions. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE: Level 4, Case Series.
