Abstract
Traditional management of traumatic venous injury is through an open surgical approach with ligation or repair, retroperitoneal packing, or medical management. This approach remains controversial because of the uncertain efficacy and postprocedural complications associated with these procedures (1). High technical success rates have been reported in the treatment of venous rupture resulting from angioplasty of hemodialysis arteriovenous access with endovascular stent implantation (2). Also, case reports have described the successful use of covered stents to treat traumatic venous injury, including in the iliac vein and vena cava.
