Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

* Determine the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of vascular ultrasound, using direct and indirect ultrasonographic signs, in the obstructive diseases of iliac venous segment, in patients with advanced chronic venous insufficiency (CEAP 3-6), considering the intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) as the gold standard for this diagnosis.
* Develop an algorithm for noninvasive ultrasound investigation of obstructive lesions in the iliac segment in patients with advanced chronic venous insufficiency (CEAP 3-6).

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Advanced Chronic Venous Insufficiency (CEAP 3-6) submitted to clinical treatment for at least 1 year with no response.
* Subject must be \> 18 and \< 80 years of age
* Willing to participate in and able to understand, read and sign the informed consent document before the planned procedure
* On duplex ultrasound: patent common femoral vein, and patent deep femoral vein, and/or femoral vein of the study leg

Exclusion Criteria

* Subject cannot or will not provide written informed consent
* Previous venous stent implantation involving the study leg or inferior vena cava
* Previous venovenous bypass surgery involving the study leg
* Known reaction or sensitivity to iodinated contrast that cannot be managed with premedication
* Subjects who are pregnant (women of childbearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test within 7 days prior to enrollment
* Acute deep venous thrombosis involving either leg
* Known history of chronic total occlusion of the common femoral vein of the study leg.
* Known history of thrombophilia (e.g., protein C or S deficiency, anti-thrombin III deficiency, presence of lupus anticoagulant, etc.)
* Venous compression caused by tumor encasement
* Venous outflow obstruction caused by tumor thrombus
* Life expectancy of less than 6 months
* Lower Extremity Arterial Insufficiency
* Elevated baseline blood creatinine (value greater than the upper limit of the normal range)
* Any concurrent disease or condition that, in the opinion of the Investigator, would make the subject unsuitable for participation in the study; examples include but are not limited to the inability to lie supine for the index procedure (e.g., severe congestive heart failure), thrombocytopenia or other hematological disorders associated with an unacceptable risk of bleeding, implanted orthopedic hardware that precludes proper imaging, etc.
