“…Caval stenosis, however, rarely complicates this approach and superior CS has been reported in up to 2.4% of patients, while the larger caliber IVC anastomosis is less frequently affected. 2,5 Donor-recipient size mismatch (11.6 kg recipient vs 30 kg donor in this case), hemostatic sutures, and prominent eustachian valves have been implicated in previous reports of IVC stenosis post-OHT 5,6 and may have contributed to the present case. It was, however, the negative pressure generated by the right atrial cannula that ultimately unmasked our patient's CS.…”

“… 2 Only a few cases of IVC–right atrium junction stenosis have been described after cardiac surgery, usually as a complication of cardiac transplantation, and were treated surgically. 3 , 4 The present case was special, not only because of the rarity of the complication after routine cardiac surgery, but also because of the innovative treatment solution using the endovascular approach.…”
