Percutaneous translumbar access was used for angioplasty and stent deployment in the suprarenal inferior vena cava (IVC). The patient, who was undergoing hemodialysis via a translumbar tunneled hemodialysis catheter, was found to have near-total occlusion of the suprarenal IVC. Following treatment, subsequent improvement of flow was present in the IVC and hemodialysis catheter.

Venous Thrombosis III: Interprofessional Care

Venous thrombosis requires effective prevention and treatment strategies to improve patient outcomes and reduce potential complications.Prevention StrategiesHealthcare providers must prioritize preventing venous thromboembolism (VTE) for all adult patients upon admission. Interventions depend on bleeding and thrombosis risk, medical history, current medications, diagnoses, planned procedures, and patient preferences. Patients on bed rest should change positions every two hours and, if not...
