Endovascular treatment of posterior nutcracker syndrome with a new autoexpandable stent

Abstract

The endovascular treatment of nutcracker syndrome is currently considered by some to be the preferred treatment option in this pathologic process despite its risks. However, currently, there are few data about the pure endovascular approach in the posterior nutcracker syndrome related to evolution in the midterm. We present two successful cases of a complete endovascular approach in this disease, with follow-up of 9 months and 17 months without complications.
