Venous Intervention and Stenting in Ohio

Venous Intervention and Stenting — Reopening Blocked Deep Veins to Relieve Chronic Symptoms

When the deep veins in your legs or pelvis become blocked or narrowed — whether from a previous deep vein thrombosis (DVT), scar tissue buildup, or an anatomical compression like May-Thurner syndrome — the result can be relentless leg swelling, pain, heaviness, skin changes, and even non-healing ulcers that don't respond to standard vein treatments. Venous intervention and stenting is a minimally invasive cath lab procedure that addresses these deep venous obstructions directly. Using balloon angioplasty and purpose-built venous stents, our team reopens the blocked vein and restores the outflow pathway that allows blood to drain properly from your leg. At Ohio Vein & Vascular, our board-certified vascular specialists perform venous intervention and stenting across all nine Ohio locations using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) for precise diagnosis and stent placement.

This procedure is particularly transformative for patients suffering from post-thrombotic syndrome — the chronic damage left behind after a DVT — and for those with May-Thurner syndrome, where the left iliac vein is compressed by the overlying right iliac artery, causing left-leg swelling and increased clot risk. Many patients with these conditions have been told to simply manage their symptoms with compression stockings and elevation, but venous stenting can often deliver dramatic, lasting improvement by fixing the structural problem. The procedure is performed through a small puncture under local anesthesia with sedation, and most patients go home the same day.
