Emergency Treatment of Iliocaval Vein Injury With an Aortic Unibody Stent Graft

Inferior vena cava injury has high mortality rate, and this novel approach may allow iliocaval repair in a successful and rapid manner. Moreover, the unibody endograft is suitable for reconstructing the IVC and both iliac veins simultaneously, showing great adaptability to the venous system.Clinical ImpactThis case suggests a new, although experimental, path for addressing severe venous traumas. The innovation lies in demonstrating that an "off-label" unibody aortic endograft can provide a minimally invasive option for highly complex ilio-caval confluence ruptures, where few other solution exist, potentially improving outcomes in these challenging scenarios.

Abstract

Inferior vena cava injury has high mortality rate, and this novel approach may allow iliocaval repair in a successful and rapid manner. Moreover, the unibody endograft is suitable for reconstructing the IVC and both iliac veins simultaneously, showing great adaptability to the venous system.Clinical ImpactThis case suggests a new, although experimental, path for addressing severe venous traumas. The innovation lies in demonstrating that an "off-label" unibody aortic endograft can provide a minimally invasive option for highly complex ilio-caval confluence ruptures, where few other solution exist, potentially improving outcomes in these challenging scenarios.
