  • Title: Endovascular treatment of iliocaval occlusion caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis: late results in two cases.
    Author: Hartung O, Alimi YS, Di Mauro P, Portier F, Juhan C.
    Journal: J Vasc Surg; 2002 Oct; 36(4):849-52. PubMed ID: 12368749.
    Abstract:
    We report two cases of iliocaval occlusion caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis; one presented acute symptoms and one chronic. Both were treated by use of transluminal angioplasty and stenting with excellent clinical, hemodynamic, and imaging results at 36 and 51 months. These cases confirm the benefit of endovascular techniques in the treatment of nonmalignant obstructive disease of large veins, and specifically in the case of retroperitoneal fibrosis.
