Abstract:
A 73-year-old woman was admitted for left groin bleeding through an open wound near a fungating left inguinal mass from advanced anal carcinoma. The interventional radiology service placed left iliac vein and common femoral vein stents as there was concern for communication and involvement of the left common femoral vein with the open wound, contributing to groin hemorrhage. After the procedure, the patient developed limb ischemia related to mass effect of the stent on the left common femoral vein stent artery. She was revascularized by placement of a left common femoral vein stent artery stent. This report describes a viable option for revascularization in the rare occurrence of limb ischemia related to venous stenting.
