Initial attempts via femoral and fistula access failed to cross the occluded innominate and subclavian vein segments. Under multiplanar fluoroscopic guidance, DSP was performed to puncture the mid-portion of the stent, followed by guidewire advancement with sheath support. A through-and-through femoral-to-fistula circuit was established using wire snaring and externalization, enabling balloon angioplasty and additional stent deployment. The procedure achieved immediate technical success with resolution of symptoms. This case highlights DSP as a viable salvage technique for complex venous stent occlusions, particularly when combined with complementary endovascular strategies.

A 72-year-old hemodialysis male patient presented with upper limb PCD. The patient underwent hemodialysis via a permanent hemodialysis central venous catheter (HD-CVC) while a new brachial-cephalic AVF was created 1 month ago. Computed tomography revealed extensive thrombosis of right subclavian and brachiocephalic vein. The HD-CVC was removed and patient was treated with anticoagulation therapy. However, his clinical condition was worsening and he was transferred to IR department. The patient underwent successful percutaneous pharmacomechanical thrombectomy (PMT) of the right subclavian and brachiocephalic vein followed by percutaneous angioplasty (PTA) with significant flow restoration and no signs of pulmonary embolization. PCD may also be developed in hemodialysis patients with well-functioned AVF. Effective and rapid revascularization is important to prevent serious complications such as venous gangrene and limb ischemia. Endovascular treatment with PMT and PTA can be a limb-saving procedure for rapid recanalization in patients with PCD.</p>","PeriodicalId":56113,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Vascular Access","volume":" ","pages":"1774-1777"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142775006","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
