Venous interventions



Venous interventions

One of the fastest growing areas of endovascular interventions is vein stenting. Vein stenting is a minimally invasive procedure in which a stent is inserted into a vein to expand the blocked part of the vein.


The procedure is performed as follows:

  • A small puncture is made in the thigh and a special balloon expands the blood vessel at the site of the vein narrowing;
  • A vascular surgeon inserts a catheter with a self-expanding stent into the affected area of the vein;
  • The stent holds the lumen of the vein;
  • Vein stenting is usually performed under local anesthesia and takes about 60 minutes. The rehabilitation period is much shorter than after open surgery and does not require a long hospital stay.

Our cooperation with Optimed (Germany), a leading manufacturer of venous stents, allows us to offer a wide range of unique stents to help each patient:


Sinus Obliquus is the only self-expanding hybrid stent with a beveled proximal end of the stent in a closed design, which is used to treat symptomatic obstruction of the iliac vein at the bifurcation into the inferior vena cava. Approximately 50-60% of patients with iliofemoral vein thrombosis have compression of the left iliac vein by the right iliac artery, the so-called May-Turner syndrome. The special design of the Sinus Obliquus allows for the treatment of this particular condition.

Sinus-XL 6F is a self-expanding stent designed to treat stenosis and obstruction of the abdominal aorta and straight segments of the descending thoracic aorta. As part of the XL stent family, it is also approved for the direct segments of the superior and inferior vena cava, in particular for the treatment of inferior vena cava syndrome. The closed-cell stent provides the same high radial force as the Sinus-XL, but has a compact design that allows for the insertion of a 14- or 16-mm diameter stent into the vessel through a small puncture.

Sinus Venous is a self-expanding sinus-venous hybrid stent with a special annular structure used for symptomatic obstructions in the lower leg and pelvis, femoral and iliac veins.

Sinus-XL-Flex is a versatile, self-expanding High-Flex stent for the treatment of obstruction of the curved segments of the inferior and superior vena cava, iliac and femoral veins. As a member of the XL family, it stands out because it is approved for both the vena cava and aorta.

Sinus-XL is a self-expanding stent with a large lumen for the treatment of central venous and arterial segments. The Sinus-XL vascular stent system is approved for both aorta and vena cava. It is suitable for the treatment of vena cava syndrome, which can be caused by tumors. In addition, it is used to treat lesions, such as stenoses, in the straight abdominal and thoracic aorta. The Sinus-XL covers even rare vessel diameters with large stent diameters ranging from 16 to 36 mm.
