| description | Abstract Background Lower extremity ischemia due to extrinsic arterial compression by venous stent placement is a rare but increasingly recognized occurrence. Given the rise of complex venous interventions, awareness of this entity is becoming increasingly important to avoid serious complications. Case Presentation A 26-year-old with progressively enlarging pelvic sarcoma despite chemoradiation developed recurrent symptomatic right lower extremity deep venous thrombosis due to worsening mass effect on a previously placed right common iliac vein stent. This was treated with thrombectomy and stent revision, with extension of the right common iliac vein stent to the external iliac vein. During the immediate post-procedure period the patient developed symptoms of acute right lower extremity arterial ischemia including diminished pulses, pain, and motorsensory loss. Imaging confirmed extrinsic compression of the external iliac artery by the newly placed adjacent venous stent. The patient underwent stenting of the compressed artery with complete resolution of ischemic symptoms. Conclusions Awareness and early recognition of arterial ischemia following venous stent placement is important to prevent serious complication. Potential risk factors include patients with active pelvis malignancy, prior radiation, or scarring from surgery or other inflammatory processes. In cases of threatened limb, prompt treatment with arterial stenting is recommended. Further study is warranted to optimize detection and management of this complication. |
