Treatment of iatrogenic IVC occlusion with implantation of a stent of a new shape dedicated to aortic aneurysms

BACKGROUND: Successful treatment of chronic occlusion of inferior vena cava (IVC) and iliocaval confluence with angioplasty and stent implantation is very rare. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 59-year-old patient with iatrogenic occlusion of IVC following L3/L4 discectomy. The wall of the ventra...

Sumario:BACKGROUND: Successful treatment of chronic occlusion of inferior vena cava (IVC) and iliocaval confluence with angioplasty and stent implantation is very rare. CASE REPORT: We present a case of a 59-year-old patient with iatrogenic occlusion of IVC following L3/L4 discectomy. The wall of the ventral IVC was ruptured during the operation. RESULTS: The torn wall was treated by patch angioplasty, resulting in a permanent IVC occlusion, as confirmed by angiography. Iatrogenic permanent occlusion of IVC was successfully treated with recanalization and implantation of a non-covered aortic stent.
