Background:
Endovascular procedures have become more and more prevalent in both general vascular and neurosurgical practices. Because these procedures rely on real-time bidimensional control through fluoroscopic guidance, they can be prone to spatial misplacement in the third dimension when not controlled in 2 different radiologic planes.
Case Description:
We report a unique complication of an iliocaval vessel stenting procedure with misplacement of a venous stent in the spinal canal. This case illustrates the close vascular relationship between the large venous vessels of the abdomen and pelvis and epidural plexus of the spinal canal.
Conclusions:
The complex venous anatomy of the lumbar region and lumbar epidural space is illustrated in this unique case. We believe this may serve both vascular surgeons and neurosurgeons in their daily practice.
