title: [Four years followup of complicated Cockett syndrome treated by iliac vein endoprosthesis].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to check the long-term patency of the left common iliac vein endoprosthesis in Cockett syndrome and to confirm this appropriate etiological treatment in complicated cases. Three patients had respectively a pulmonary embolism, left common iliac vein occlusion with protein S deficiency, and venous claudication (Paget-von Schroetter syndrome) as complications of the Cockett syndrome. Treatment with endoprosthesis was performed. A mean follow-up of 48.6 months (31-61 months) revealed a clinical improvement without any recurrence of complications. The patency of the left common iliac vein flow was maintained. Indications on this treatment are being discussed.
