Evaluation of the diagnostic accuracy of contrast enhanced ultrasonography in chronic iliac venous obstruction
Objective
The noninvasive diagnosis of chronic iliac vein obstruction can be challenging. Noninvasive modalities are available, but each has its own merits and drawbacks. Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) is considered the diagnostic reference standard, but it is invasive. The role of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in chronic iliac vein obstruction has so far not been studied.
Methods
This is a single-center retrospective study. Thirty-nine patients, suspected to have chronic iliac venous obstruction, underwent unenhanced ultrasonography, contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with Lumason, and IVUS on the same day.
Results
Most of the data set was female, had post thrombotic lesions, and belonged to CEAP Class C4 or higher. The intraclass correlation coefficient (kappa, average measures) between enhanced and unenhanced ultrasonography was 0.9 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.87-0.92), indicative of very good agreement. However, the correlation coefficients between enhanced ultrasonography and IVUS and unenhanced ultrasonography and IVUS were 0.6 (95% CI, 0.16-0.67) and 0.5 (95% CI, 0.37-0.75), respectively, indicative of less optimal agreement. Considering IVUS as the reference standard, diagnostic accuracies for ultrasonography for external iliac vein with and without Lumason use were 71.3% and 71.4%, respectively. Diagnostic accuracies for ultrasonography for common iliac vein with and without Lumason use were 53.2% and 56.7%, respectively, when compared with IVUS.
Conclusions
The measures of diagnostic accuracy of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography and unenhanced ultrasonography are similar to each other in the diagnosis of chronic iliac vein obstruction when compared with a reference standard such as IVUS. Further studies are needed to delineate the complimentary value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography in the diagnosis of chronic iliac vein obstruction.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery: Venous and Lymphatic Disorders is one of a series of specialist journals launched by the Journal of Vascular Surgery. It aims to be the premier international Journal of medical, endovascular and surgical management of venous and lymphatic disorders. It publishes high quality clinical, research, case reports, techniques, and practice manuscripts related to all aspects of venous and lymphatic disorders, including malformations and wound care, with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals who treat patients presenting with vascular and lymphatic disorders. As the official publication of The Society for Vascular Surgery and the American Venous Forum, the Journal will publish, after peer review, selected papers presented at the annual meeting of these organizations and affiliated vascular societies, as well as original articles from members and non-members.
