Description
Though venous stenting has been performed for decades, there has been a recent increase in clinical interest with the arrival of numerous on-label devices and use of more sensitive imaging tools, leading to rapid proliferation of stenting procedures. However, concerns have arisen regarding appropriate utilization and device safety. In this 2 hour program, we will present on evidence-driven venous stent placement, highlighting what we know and the considerable data gaps that remain. This program reflects the Society of Interventional Radiology’s commitment to best practices in deep venous treatment and generation of research to improve patient outcomes.

Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this educational activity, the learner will be able to:

• Describe the current state of evidence in the treatment of deep venous obstruction.
• Identify the assessment and treatment data and patient history to consider before a decision to stent is made.
• Explain best practices in treatment of patients with a non-thrombotic iliac vein lesion and patients with post-thrombotic deep venous obstruction.
• Discuss the situations in which stents fail and identify when and how to treat
