Abstract
- Percutaneous venous angioplasty and stent placement is a effective procedure in the treatment of central venous stenosis and occlusion. But multiple repeat interventions are occasionally required due to restenosis. Self expandable stent is preferred to balloon expandable stent in case of brachiocephalic vein stenting due to anatomic consideration and veinous characteristics. We reported two cases of successful recanalization using self expandable stent of the occlusive kinked in-stent restenosis of the previous balloon expandable stent at left brachiocephalic vein occlusion.
