Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Endovenous interventions represent an emerging alternative therapeutic modality in the field of interventional radiology. It is attracting the attention of many researchers worldwide thanks to its minimally invasive nature and intrinsic low risk of morbidity and mortality. The negative impact of venous diseases on quality of life is well established and the optimization of management strategies is an important area of evolving research. The management of venous diseases has rapidly evolved over the last two decades with the development of minimally invasive endovenous procedure techniques, which are now the mainstay of treatment for the management of deep vein thrombosis, postthrombotic syndrome, dialysis access dysfunction, pelvic congestion syndrome, and varicoceles or leg varices.  

This Special Issue aims to present a comprehensive overview of this active research area by gathering a comprehensive range contributions from pathophysiological questions, to technical endovascular aspects, to clinical trials and applications. Contributions may be related, but are not limited to, the following areas: venous imaging approach, thrombectomy procedures, venous angioplasty, hemodialysis arteriovenous fistula field, endovenous ablative techniques, and embolization interventions.

Benefits of Publishing in a Special Issue

  • Ease of navigation: Grouping papers by topic helps scholars navigate broad scope journals more efficiently.
  • Greater discoverability: Special Issues support the reach and impact of scientific research. Articles in Special Issues are more discoverable and cited more frequently.
  • Expansion of research network: Special Issues facilitate connections among authors, fostering scientific collaborations.
  • External promotion: Articles in Special Issues are often promoted through the journal's social media, increasing their visibility.
  • e-Book format: Special Issues with more than 10 articles can be published as dedicated e-books, ensuring wide and rapid dissemination.

To assess the safety, efficacy and mid-term outcomes of single-session percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) for acute symptomatic iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using the Aspirex®S device. Retrospective review of 30 patients (women, 23; mean age, 45.5 ± 19.9 years; range, 17–76) [...] Read more.
To assess the safety, efficacy and mid-term outcomes of single-session percutaneous mechanical thrombectomy (PMT) for acute symptomatic iliofemoral deep vein thrombosis (DVT) using the Aspirex®S device. Retrospective review of 30 patients (women, 23; mean age, 45.5 ± 19.9 years; range, 17–76) who underwent PMT with the 10-French Aspirex®S device (Straub Medical AG, Wangs, Switzerland) for acute DVT between December 2015 and March 2019. Procedures were performed by popliteal (n = 22) or jugular (n = 7) approach, or both (n = 1). Mean time from diagnosis to PMT was 5.5 ± 4.6 days (range, 2–11). Successful thrombus removal and venous patency restoration were achieved in all patients (100%). Fluid removal was 307.8 ± 66.1 mL (range, 190–410). Additional venous stenting rate was 100%. Mean procedural time was 107.3 ± 33.9 min (range, 70–180). No major complication occurred. The patient’s postprocedural course was uneventful in all cases, with hospital discharge within 2 days in 83.3%. Early in-stent rethrombosis occurred within 1 week in 3 patients, successfully managed by endovascular approach. Secondary stent patency rate was 86.7% at a mean follow-up of 22.3 ± 14.2 months (range, 6–48), as assessed by Duplex ultrasound. Single-session of PMT using the Aspirex®S device is a safe and effective therapeutic option in patients presenting with acute symptomatic iliofemoral DVT. Full article

We report a case of a 29-year-old male referred to our hospital for endovascular treatment of a left-sided painful varicocele. Standard retrograde embolization via the left renal vein was not possible because of the presence of a left circum-aortic renal vein making the catheterization of the testicular vein not feasible. The patient was successfully treated via ultrasound-guided percutaneous antegrade access of the testicular vein at the inguinal level with subsequent cyanoacrylate glue embolization as a minimally invasive alternative to surgical therapy. This is a new approach to varicocele embolization when the left renal vein does not feed the varicocele. Full article
