Abstract

Nutcracker Syndrome (NCS) is a rare vascular anomaly involving left renal vein outflow entrapment most commonly secondary to compression between the aorta and the superior mesenteric artery. This can lead to chronic renal venous hypertension which can cause varicosity formation, gonadal vein reflux, hematuria, and if severe enough, renal failure. While open surgical reconstruction is heralded as the gold standard for treatment of this disorder, endovascular treatment is increasingly reported in recent literature. Herein, we present a unique approach to treatment of a severely symptomatic Nutcracker Syndrome via left renal vein outflow venoplasty without stenting performed in conjunction with embolization of refluxing varicosities.
