A private surgeon attempted to recannulate the occluded R iliac vein and placed a ve-
nous stent. However limited by the approach (greater saphenous vein puncture at the
groin) the residual stenosis at the right common femoral vein was not treated. Despite a
patent R iliac stent the patient’s symptoms did not improve.
If symptoms are disabling repeat intervention via a popliteal puncture and stenting
across the inguinal ligament into the superficial femoral vein may be required.
