Dear Adil Polat,

I do not have experience with Supera Stent , but I do with MAy-Thurner Syndrome .Can you give some more information about Supera  stent?

Dear Adil Polat,

you have to try everything to get a venous stent. We use sinus venous stent. This stent has a very good flexibility despite a very high radial force. That means this stent has two factors which is needed for therapy of CVO (chronic venous obstruction). If it is not able to get access to dedicated venous stents (sinus venous, silver vena, venity) than you have to use an arterial stent with a high radial force (wall-Stent). Please note that you have to overstent the point of compression but without overstenting the contralateral side.

Dear Houman Jalaie;

Thank you for your response. Do you think I will have to stent contralateral side often? 

Dear Paulo Eduardo Ocke Reis;

Supera is a stent by Abbott with a high radial force and flexibility. The deployment require few tricks but it is a really beautiful stent except for its price.

Dear All,

I`ve a good experience  with sinus venous and wall-stent also . We never stent the contralateral side in MAy-Thurner Syndrome except if the right side have venous obstruction. Generally we try to deploy the stent in the left iliac vein but with 1 cm inside the vena cava as showed in the attached publication.

Dear All,

we do the same. You dont have to stent the contralateral side. Only in few cases, due to bifurcation-anatomy you have to overstent the contralateral side for covering the maximum of compression point.  

The stents that I ever deployed for MTS are Wallstents(diameter>14 mm) and Zilver stents (diameter=12mm).As the Supera stent is currently not available in Taiwan,I certainly have no hand-on experience with it.Since it has recetly been advocated to use in the popliteal a. with excellent result,it might be an ideal stent for MTS except the concern that too strong radial force might precipitate back pain immediattely after deployment.
