The sinus obliquus is the only self-expanding hybrid stent with a beveled proximal stent tip in a closed-cell design used to treat symptomatic obstruction of the iliac vein near the bifurcation to the inferior vena cava. Approximately 50-60%¹’² of patients with iliofemoral venous thrombosis have compression of the predominantly left iliac vein by the right iliac artery – the so-called May-Thurner syndrome. The special design of the sinus obliquus enables the treatment of this special indication.
