  • Title: Successful metallic stent placement for recurrent stenosis after balloon angioplasty of membranous obstruction of inferior vena cava.
    Author: Hung WC, Fang CY, Wu CJ, Lo PH, Hung JS.
    Journal: Jpn Heart J; 2001 Jul; 42(4):519-23. PubMed ID: 11693287.
    Abstract:
    A 23 year-old Taiwanese male presented with complete membranous obstruction of the inferior vena cava at its suprahepatic portion. After 3 angioplasty procedures using Inoue-balloon catheters, a Wall stent was deployed for restenosis 4 years after the first procedure. Venography at 6 months showed no significant restenosis. At 20 months transfemoral venography confirmed patency of the vena cava.
