We present a case where the buttressing balloon-expandable stent is crushedand subsequently removed percutaneously prior to placement of a high radial force self-expanding stent at the compressive site.
📌 3 Key Takeaways
🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Self-expanding nitinol stents are routinely used to treat left common iliac vein compression inpatients with May-Thurner syndrome.
📊
Key Findings & Data:On occasion these stents do not provide adequate radialforce to achieve a sufficient iliac lumen.
💡
Conclusion & Impact:We present a case where the buttressing balloon-expandable stent is crushedand subsequently removed percutaneously prior to placement of a high radial force self-expanding stent at the compressive site.

Self-expanding nitinol stents are routinely used to treat left common iliac vein compression inpatients with May-Thurner syndrome. On occasion these stents do not provide adequate radialforce to achieve a sufficient iliac lumen. If symptoms persist and persistent iliac vein compression is noted then balloon-expandable stents may be used to provide buttressing support at thecompression site. We present a case where the buttressing balloon-expandable stent is crushedand subsequently removed percutaneously prior to placement of a high radial force self-expanding stent at the compressive site.
