Implantation of ileofemoral stents: A novel approach for bilateral occlusions of the iliofemoral vein in a patient with a Glenn operation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Iliofemoral venous occlusions may sometimes be encountered in patients with congenital heart disease (CHD), because of repeated catheterizations, a cut-down of the femoral vein, insertion of central venous catheters, or surgical venous anastomoses. Consequently procedures for catheter intervention, including catheter ablation, may sometimes become difficult or impossible because of a femoral venous occlusion. We report a patient with bilateral iliofemoral venous occlusions after a Glenn operation who subsequently underwent a successful radiofrequency catheter ablation (RFCA) of atrial flutter (AFL) after the implantation of ileofemoral stents.

Long-term outcome of transfemoral thrombectomy in patients with acute iliofemoral vein thrombosis
Abstract Background: The optimal therapy of acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis is still a matter of debate. The purpose of our study was to evaluate the late results of iliofemoral thrombectomy with regard to the prevention of the development of a Post Thrombotic Syndrome (PTS). Methods: During 2000-2003, 18 patients underwent transfemoral venous thrombectomy for acute iliofemoral venous thro...
متن کاملMelody valve implantation through a recanalized occluded femoral vein
Sir, We describe a case of successful recanalization and stenting of a long-segment occlusion involving the femoral and iliac veins followed by subsequent Melody valve (Medtronic Inc., Minneapolis, MN, USA) implantation in the pulmonary position. A 20-year-old male with pulmonary atresia and intact ventricular septum, status-post 1.5-ventricle repair, underwent cardiac catheterization for right...

Introduction: Hydatid disease remains a health problem for Mediterranean and Far Eastern countries such as Iran. Living in rural or suburban areas is an important risk factor for the disease. These cysts are usually located in the liver, lung, and brain and mediastinal hydatid cysts are rarely found. The objective of this investigation was to present a very rare and nearly unique case of me...

Background: This study assessed the application value of 64-slice spiral computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a follow-up evaluation of patients receiving coronary stent implantation. Materials and Methods: A total of 468 patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) at our hospital between January 2013 and October 2016 were selected for this study. Coronary angiography an...
متن کاملCongenital absence of the inferior vena cava with bilateral iliofemoral acute deep venous thrombosis
Iliofemoral acute deep venous thrombosis (DVT) poses increased risk for post-thrombotic syndrome. Absent inferior vena cava (IVC) syndrome is a rare vascular anomaly that can be associated with idiopathic DVT in the young patient. It remains unclear whether endovenous thrombolytic intervention for DVT in patients with absent IVC can be successful, given the impaired venous outflow. This case re...
