Endovascular Stent Can Be the Treatment of Choice for Spontaneous Iliac Vein Rupture: A Case Report.
Vascular and Endovascular Surgery 2018 Februrary
INTRODUCTION: Spontaneous iliac vein rupture is a rare but lethal disease. Most patients suffer from shock status in the emergency department. Until now, open laparotomy combined with primary suture is the most common treatment of iliac vein rupture. However, there is high mortality and morbidity in the patients who underwent open laparotomy.
CASE PRESENTATION: A 71-year-old woman denied trauma history and sustained hypovolemic shock. The abdominal computed tomography showed one huge retroperitoneal hematoma. The emergency angiography revealed one obvious rupture point on the left external iliac vein. We repaired the lesion with endovascular stent and open laparotomy for abdominal decompression. The patient progressed well and was discharged.
CONCLUSION: Endovascular repair is an effective and safe treatment. Compared with open laparotomy and primary suture, stent leads to fewer complications and a lower mortality rate.
