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

چکیده
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.

Abdominal aortic coarctation is an extremely rare vascular pathology. Its etiology can be congenital or acquired. Here we present a case of acquired infrarenal abdominal coarctation in a 66-year-old woman who complained of low back and legs pain. She had no signs of resting lower limb ischemia, with diminished distal pulses and normal blood pressure in upper and lower extremities. Magnetic reso...

The patient was a 19 year-old woman with the diagnosis of resistant hypertension, although she was under treatment of three classes of anti-hypertensive drugs (beta blocker, angiotensin receptor blocker, diuretic) for more than one year. In physical examination there was only a significant difference between the systolic blood pressure of upper and lower extremities (200 vs. 120 mmHg), without ...

Introduction: Iatrogenic aortocoronary dissection (ACD) is a nightmare in interventional cardiology. Although ACD is rarely reported, the real-world prevalence is suspected of being higher due to unreported cases. The right coronary artery (RCA) ostium is involved in the majority of cases, and dissections are usually limited to the aortic sinus in half of the clinical presentat...

INTRODUCTION We aimed to evaluate the feasibility, safety, efficacy, and predictors for outcome of reconstructive treatment with Solitaire™ AB stent(s) based on 54 cases of saccular aneurysms and 14 of acute symptomatic dissecting aneurysms. METHODS Fifty-eight consecutive patients (M/F = 28/30; median age, 53 years) harbouring 68 aneurysms (ruptured/unruptured = 12/56) underwent treatment wi...
