Reconstruction of an inferior vena cava stent occlusion using double-barrel stenting in a patient with Behçet's disease

Symptomatic inferior vena cava (IVC) and iliac vein thrombosis is increasingly being treated with thrombolysis, thrombus retrieval and deep venous stenting. If the IVC stent occludes, endovenous intervention is indicated to restore patency. An 18-year-old male with Behçet's disease presented wi...

Sumario:Symptomatic inferior vena cava (IVC) and iliac vein thrombosis is increasingly being treated with thrombolysis, thrombus retrieval and deep venous stenting. If the IVC stent occludes, endovenous intervention is indicated to restore patency. An 18-year-old male with Behçet's disease presented with deep vein thrombosis (extending from the IVC to the popliteal segments bilaterally) which was initially treated with thrombolysis and stenting. Fifteen months later, the patient experienced symptomatic deterioration; a chronically-occluded IVC stent was identified and reconstructed using a double-barrel stenting technique. Patient compliance to post-stenting anticoagulation therapy is paramount to maintain stent patency. A multi-disciplinary approach including haematologists can be beneficial for patients with a background of thrombophilic disorders.
