Efficacy and safety of cutting balloons for the treatment of obstructive lesions in the internal jugular veins.
CONCLUSION: Cutting balloons can be safely used for the management of stenosed internal jugular veins. These devices can replace stents in majority of cases, especially if standard balloon angioplasty is insufficient to restore proper outflow. However, the use of cutting balloons in this particular venous territory is limited by the fact that currently only small diameter devices are available.
