Stent placement for treatment of internal jugular vein stenosis: report of 3 cases
نویسندگان
چکیده
Internal jugular vein (IJV) is one of the central veins and is the largest vein in neck. The application of endovascular stent placement in internal jugular vein stenosis (IJVS) is rare. Here, we studied the feasibility and curative effect of the treatment of IJVS by stent placement. A total of 3 patients with IJVS were diagnosed by angiography and treated with stent placement. Anticoagulant therapy was conducted after surgery. The clinical presentations, endovascular procedures, as well as clinical results of the 3 patients were reviewed. The clinical symptoms of the 3 patients with IJVS improved after stent placement. Blood flowed fluently in the vein stent without thrombosis and the short-term curative effects were satisfactory. In conclusions, venous stent placement may be a good option for the treatment of IJVS.
