Abstract
Purpose
To explore the anatomical features of left iliac vein (LIV) in non-thrombotic venous leg ulcers (VLUs) and to identify the impact of these anatomical features on VLUs based on computed tomography venography (CTV).
Methods
This is a retrospective, single-center study of a database (2021–2023) of 431 patients with non-thrombotic chronic venous insufficiency. According to CEAP clinical (C) classifications, cases of C6 and C2 were included for analysis as case and control groups. Based on CTV data, variables that reflected the anatomical characteristics of LIV and lower lumbar degenerative changes were compared between the two groups. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was performed to evaluate impact of the anatomical features of LIV on VLUs.
Results
A total of 116 patients (group C6 (n = 33) and C2 (n = 83)) were included. Variables including anterior lumbar vertebral osteophytes (ALVO), minimum diameter of LIV, the number of sites of LIV stenosis, proportion of cases with percentage compression of LIV ≥ 75%, proportion of cases with triple or dual LIV stenosis showed significant difference between the two groups (all P ˂0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed ALVO [odds ratio (OR) = 3.852, P = 0.025], number of sites of LIV stenosis [OR = 2.654, P = 0.027] and minimum diameter of LIV [OR = 0.585, P = 0.010] were all significant for VLUs.
Conclusions
The factors of ALVO and number of sites of LIV stenosis were risk factors, whereas minimum diameter of LIV was a protective factor for VLUs. This provided a direction for preoperative planning of non-thrombotic LIV stenting.
期刊介绍：
Abdominal Radiology seeks to meet the professional needs of the abdominal radiologist by publishing clinically pertinent original, review and practice related articles on the gastrointestinal and genitourinary tracts and abdominal interventional and radiologic procedures. Case reports are generally not accepted unless they are the first report of a new disease or condition, or part of a special solicited section.
Reasons to Publish Your Article in Abdominal Radiology:
· Official journal of the Society of Abdominal Radiology (SAR)
· Published in Cooperation with:
European Society of Gastrointestinal and Abdominal Radiology (ESGAR)
European Society of Urogenital Radiology (ESUR)
Asian Society of Abdominal Radiology (ASAR)
· Efficient handling and Expeditious review
· Author feedback is provided in a mentoring style
· Global readership
· Readers can earn CME credits
