“…Several authors have published excellent palliative results and vessel recanalization using Z-stents [37,56,57]. Dyet et al, using Wallstents, presented an primary patency rate of 90% and secondary patency of 100% [58].…”

“…Stents to be placed in the distal IVC or hepatic veins should have a diameter of 1.5-2 times the venous diameter. The stent must be long enough to be maintained in the web without displacement [15]. Whatever type of stent is used, long-term effects on hepatic veins or the IVC have to be further investigated.…”

A 49-year-old male with Budd-Chiari syndrome complicated by liver cirrhosis and intractable ascites is reported. The left hepatic vein was stenosed by a short subocclusive ostial web; the right and medial hepatic veins were thrombosed. A spontaneous intrahepatic portosystemic shunt had developed between the left portal and left hepatic veins. After ineffective balloon angioplasty, the left hepatic venous outflow was restored by placement of a 10-mm-diameter Wallstent across the web via a femoral approach. The hepatic venous pressure dropped from 29 to 12 mmHg. Rapid clinical improvement followed. The patient underwent liver transplantation 3 months later in stable condition.

“…The success of this technique enabled us to avoid preliminary thrombolysis recommended in a recent report [5]. While the latter is mandatory when dealing with acute lesions, its adjunctive role in the management of chronic occlusions is less well defined [1][2][3][4]101. Z stents fabricated in the departmental research facility were used, since models of the desired specifications were not available commercially at the time.…”

Percutaneous stenting is now the preferred first line of treatment for occlusive lesions of the great veins. A case is presented in which multiple metallic stents were used to reestablish communication between the suprahepatic inferior vena cava and both iliac veins. The clinical result was satisfactory: venous claudication was relieved, and the progress of chronic venous insufficiency arrested. Stent implantation offers a minimally invasive therapeutic option even when extensive revascularisation is indicated.
