A minimally-invasive stenting procedure has been found to effectively treat painful post-thrombotic syndrome, a complication that can occur after deep vein thrombosis. The treatment involves the use of stents, with some outlets reporting on the effectiveness of specific types, such as drug-eluting balloons and venous stent systems. However, it is unclear if these specific treatments are directly related to the initial finding, as some reports appear to discuss different medical conditions and applications.
