In recent years, deep venous stenting has increasingly become a treatment strategy for post-thrombotic syndrome. Stent thrombosis can occur, resulting in symptom recurrence despite medical therapy, and there are few options available for durable stent patency restoration. We present a case of a 50-year-old male with prior iliocaval reconstruction that experienced recurrent left lower extremity swelling secondary to occlusion of left external iliac and common iliac vein stents during follow-up. Mechanical thrombectomy with the RevCore System and angioplasty was performed. One month later, the patient demonstrated widely patent bilateral iliac vein stents and complete symptomatic resolution. The RevCore System is a feasible alternative for treatment of chronic in-stent thrombosis.
