Description

A 26 year-old female diagnosed with nutcracker syndrome was referred to our hospital to undergo stent placement to left renal vein due to progressive anemia and macroscopic hematuria. Ultrasound test and computed tomography before stent placement showed narrowed segment in left renal vein (LRV) between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery and dilated the hilar LRV portion. Venous pressure gradient in the stenosis LRV was 10 mmHg. Two E-Luminexx stents (12 mm×40 mm) were placed at the stenotic site of the LRV. Patient’s symptom has improved and no postoperative complication has occurred to present.
