Abstract
Debilitating obstruction of the large veins may occur from external co mpression, neointimal proliferation or thrombosis. Appropriate interve ntions are contingent upon the underlying etiology and the local vascu lar anatomy. A case of innominate vein obstruction is presented illust rating the available intravascular therapeutic options, with special e mphasis placed on intravenous stenting. (C) 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
