Chronic venous disease is strongly associated with morbidity and leads to considerable medical costs. Therefore, its clinical significance is very important. Currently, iliac vein stenting is the first treatment option for chronic venous disease due to iliac vein obstruction. For iliac vein stenting, ipsilateral femoral or popliteal vein access is common. However, great saphenous vein access may be a good alternative if there is obstruction in the ipsilateral femoropopliteal vein. Until now, there has been no reported case of successful iliac vein stenting using great saphenous vein access. We report the first successful case of iliofemoral vein stenting from great saphenous vein access.
