Abstract

Abstract: The objective of this research was to explore the feasibility and clinical application of a new diagnostic imaging method for the diagnosis and treatment of iliac vein compression (IVC) based on three-dimensional (3D) digital reconstruction and printing. This study included patients with chronic venous disease (CVD) who were admitted to the Department of Vascular Surgery, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, from January to March, 2019, and underwent computed tomography venography (CTV) to detect IVC. CTV findings were used to reconstruct 3D-printed models of blood vessels. A total of 17 patients (5 men and 12 women) with IVC, who were primarily diagnosed with CTV, were included in this study. In addition, 24 significant venous compression sites were found in 17 patients, of which 7 patients had only one compression site (41.2%), nine patients had two compression sites (52.9%), and one patient had three compression sites (5.9%). 3D digital reconstruction and printing is a convenient, noninvasive, and accurate diagnostic imaging method that provides a clear and accurate evaluation of veins and arteries, as well as the anatomical positional relationship for the diagnosis and treatment of IVC.
