Endovascular extraction of a migrated large self-expanding laser-cut renal venous stent from the right ventricle

چکیده
Endovascular stent placement for decompression of an entrapped left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and superior mesenteric artery is an alternative to surgical decompression for treating the nutcracker syndrome. However, an interventional approach may be challenging because of the unfavorable configuration of the LRV, leading to insufficient stent anchoring. We provide a case of a life-threatening stent migration from the LRV into the right ventricle 2 days after stent placement and its endovascular retrieval.

Background: There have been reports on stent-related vascular erosions about patients with benign or malignant stenosis of the esophagus who received endoscopic stent insertion for palliative intention for oral intake. Case presentation: A 61-year-old woman with esophageal cancer located in the middle part of esophagus was treated with esophagectomy. Two years following the surgery, malignan...
متن کاملMigrated Subclavian Venous Stent into the Right Atrium
Central venous stenosis or occlusion occurs in 11–50% of hemodialysis patients with prior subclavian vein cannulation and ipsilateral fistula or shunt. 1) Treatment for central venous stenosis includes percutaneous balloon angioplasty or stent implantation. Migration of intravenous stents is rare but it can be life-threatening. Migration of stents to the innominate vein, right atrium, right ven...
متن کاملSurgical Removal of Endovascular Stent after Migration to the Right Ventricle Following Right Subclavian Vein Deployment for Treatment of Central Venous Stenosis
Central venous stenosis or occlusion occurs in 11-50% of hemodialysis patients with prior subclavian vein cannulation and ipsilateral fistula or shunt. Most patients are asymptomatic but some require treatment to reduce the risk of thrombosis and improve inadequate hemodialysis pressure. In these cases, endovascular intervention, including ballooning and stenting, is a feasible strategy for sel...

Iliac vein stenosis is a rare vascular complication of renal transplantation that may compromise allograft function if not recognized and corrected in a timely fashion. Because chronic venous stenosis may remain undiagnosed for several years, a high index of suspicion should be maintained until diagnosing this rare disease. A 56-year-old renal transplant recipient presented with unilateral leg ...

E mbolization of a venous stent is a rare but potentially catastrophic complication of peripheral vascular intervention. We report a case of a woman with chronic kidney disease who had recently received an endovascular stent to treat a compromised arteriovenous graft. While cases of stent embolization have been reported with other applications, this case represents the fi rst reported proximal ...
