What this could lead to
If it works, this stent could offer a safe and effective way to treat blocked veins in the abdomen and legs, relieving pain, swelling, and leg ulcers.
What could go wrong
This is an early-stage, single-arm study with no comparison group, so results may not apply to everyone. Risks include stent blockage, bleeding, or injury to the vein.
