Repair of a blunt traumatic inferior vena cava laceration with commercially available endografts

Endografts have recently been used in the trauma setting for arterial injuries in surgically inaccessible areas or in medically unstable patients. There have been considerably fewer reports on the use of endografts for treatment of traumatic venous injuries. We present the case of an endograft repair of a blunt, traumatic inferior vena cava injury in a patient deemed at high risk for surgical repair.
