Abstract
Anterior lumbar surgery is associated with risk of vascular complications that lead to termination of surgical goals. We present the case of a 52-year-old male sustaining injury to the left common iliac vein (CIV) during exploration of the retroperitoneum for revision L5-S1 anterior lumbar interbody fusion. One day after initial exploration and CIV repair, a thoracic endovascular stent graft was placed across the left CIV, allowing for completion of revision anterior lumbar interbody fusion. Adjunctive endograft placement can assist prevention of compounding iatrogenic venous injuries during anterior lumbar surgery. Patients at high risk of injury may benefit most after options are weighed.
期刊介绍:
Journal of Vascular Surgery Cases and Innovative Techniques is a surgical journal dedicated to publishing peer review high quality case reports, vascular images and innovative techniques related to all aspects of arterial, venous, and lymphatic diseases and disorders, including vascular trauma, malformations, wound care and the placement and maintenance of arterio-venous dialysis accesses with an emphasis on the practicing clinician. The Journal seeks to provide novel and timely information to vascular surgeons, interventionalists, phlebologists, wound care specialists, and allied health professionals involved with the management of patients with the entire spectrum of vascular disorders.
