Postoperative CTV images obtained 1 month after the procedure (a). Below the IVCF, both iliac veins and their distal branches exhibit increased calibre and fullness, with suboptimal contrast enhancement. Suspected scattered thrombi are visible throughout the entire segment of vessels below the IVCF, and the previously observed low-density areas have diminished. CTV images obtained 3 months after the procedure, depicting unobstructed contrast enhancement within the IVC and its branches, with no evident filling defects (b). Ultrasound images of IVC and iliac veins obtained 12 months postoperatively (c). The IVC displays robust blood flow, with normal flow direction. Flow is unobstructed in the common and external iliac veins. In the right calf, partial thrombosis of the intermuscular veins accompanied by venous calcification is observed, while the remaining deep and superficial veins exhibit unobstructed return flow
