Restenosis of Aorto-renal Venous Grafts: Report of Two Patients Treated by Endovascular Stenting

INTRODUCTIONRenal venous graft restenosis is an uncommon event usually associated with significant clinical impact. Its treatment by endovascular stenting is seldom reported in the literature. REPORTTwo cases of successful stenting for restenosis in aorto-renal venous grafts are described, detailing the technique and in one case reporting for the first time the use of a covered stent in this condition. DISCUSSIONTechnical success may be achieved with proper material selection for the patient's anatomy and with dilation at relatively high pressures. The use of a covered stent may provide extra safety when treating vein grafts.
