Stent Migration Following Endovascular Intervention in May-Thurner Syndrome

Developments in endovascular therapies have made stenting a common practice the treatment of peripheral vascular diseases, including venous disorders such as May-Thurner syndrome. The placement stent system carries risk migration which although small occurs with 3% incidence rate and can be life-threatening given pulmonary infarction, tricuspid regurgitation, right-sided heart failure. Herein we report case embolization from iliac vein into right side causing regurgitation. After failure percutaneous approach to retrieve stent, it was successfully removed using minimally invasive thoracotomy along repair valve.
