This invention is a modular intraluminal tubular stent system for deployment in the venous system and a method of stenting a vein segment using a modular stent system. One of the stents in the system includes a reinforced terminal end portion, such as a helical coil, to provide additional expansive force to maintain the initial deployed location of the stent. The coil may be interwoven into the wall of the stent, or a separate structure deployed separately.

A method of diagnosing an obstructive lesion in the iliac venous system. The method includes the steps of identifying the presence of chronic venous disease from clinical evaluation alone of a patient, and without any further evaluation, undertaking an IVUS procedure on the patient to identify any non-thrombotic or thrombotic iliac vein lesions.

Method of diagnosing and treating CVD

A method for removing a clot using and inserting a catheter balloon assembly, having proximal and distal ends including a catheter carrying a remotely inflatable occlusion balloon and another catheter carrying a mechanical device for moving a clot, into patient on one side of clot; a balloon-collared sheath, having a collar sheath with proximal and distal ends, the collar sheath having an open interior, and sealing valve for sealing the interior of the collar sheath, and inflatable collar balloon, disposed on the exterior distal end of said collar sheath, inserted on other side of clot; a suction module, having a suction sheath having proximal and distal ends, the suction sheath having an open interior, and sized to be inserted in a vein, attachable to a suction device. The balloons are inflated and the mechanical device is positioned near the clot, toward the balloon collared sheath towards the suction device.

Thrombectomy removal method

A thrombectomy removal kit having: (a) a catheter balloon assembly having proximal and distal ends including a first catheter carrying a remotely inflatable occlusion balloon and a second catheter carrying a mechanical device for removing a clot; (b) a balloon-collared sheath having a collar sheath with proximal and distal ends, the collar sheath having an open interior, and a sealing valve for sealing the interior of the collar sheath, and inflatable collar balloon, disposed on the exterior distal end of said collar sheath; and (c) a suction module, having a suction sheath attachable to a suction device, the suction sheath having proximal and distal ends, the suction sheath having an open interior, and sized to be inserted in a vein.
