Reconstruction of the iliocaval venous confluence using arterial stent technology

Abstract

Reconstruction of the iliocaval confluence remains a challenge for physicians performing interventions in the deep venous system. We report a case of caval bi-iliac occlusion in which arterial stent technology in the form of the AFX2 unibody stent graft (Endologix, Irvine, Calif) was used to achieve anatomic reconstruction of the iliocaval confluence.
