Thank you so much for sharing your story. It's rare to find ones about VTOS. Did you get a venogram before you had the surgery or was the MRI enough to diagnose and decide that surgery was needed? Also, have you heard of an IVUS?
Also, your quote above - do you mean you're worried the venogram and venoplasty could cause a clot? Why would that be? I'm thinking of getting a venogram to confirm the VTOS diagnosis... but wondering if I could do a less invasive test in its place. Thank you again for sharing.
