Endovascular stenting using a pull-through technique is a safe and effective treatment for left subclavian venous stenosis in hemodialysis patients with a persistent left superior vena cava.
Matsumoto et al. (2012) conducted a case report in Left subclavian venous stenosis with persistent left superior vena cava (n=1). Endovascular stent placement (pull-through technique) was evaluated on Resolution of left arm swelling. Endovascular stent placement using the pull-through technique safely and effectively resolved recurrent left subclavian venous stenosis in a hemodialysis patient with a persistent left superior vena cava.
