Abstract：Recent advent of vein stent-angioplasty and its surprising high safety and long-term patency in the treatment of iliac vein compression syndrome has apparently improve the symtoms and patients' quality of life. Sometimes accurate information of the lesion sometimes cannot be derived from routine venography for its restrictions. However,intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)is able to complement it. Using IVUS during procedure to assess the stenotic lesions and guide the optimal stent placement can dramatically increase the operative outcome. Thus, IVUS is the mainstay of iliac vein stenting.
